Photo reblogged from The Economist

theeconomist:

Seven seconds that changed music. The “Amen break”, a four bar drum solo from a funk instrumental, lay hidden for two decades. Re-popularised in the 1990s by the producers of what was coming to be known as “jungle”, it has since been used on hundreds, possibly thousands of records—and probably some you own.

Great piece. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the article, where you can link to multiple audio files.
