Duck Rock

by Malcolm McLaren

Following his tenure managing the Sex Pistols and Bow Wow Wow, McLaren embarked on a global musical expedition to craft this groundbreaking, highly eclectic release. Produced by Trevor Horn, the album seamlessly splices early Bronx hip-hop and scratching with South African mbaqanga, Appalachian folk, and Caribbean rhythms. While raising complex questions regarding cultural appropriation, it was immensely influential in bringing global music and turntablism to a mainstream audience.
