NTS Guide to: The Music of Basquiat

Focus on Jean-Michel Basquiat

From the music he listened to in the studio, to tracks referenced in his paintings and contemporaries from downtown NYC, this mix delves into the musical life of Jean Michel Basquiat – the crown prince of neo-expressionism, and the avatar of New York's creative explosion in the 1980s.
