“White Horse” - Laid Back
Sometime in the mid 80s, our half-brother Armando came back from California and began living with us. While in Cali, somewhere in L.A. County, he’d taken up break dancing. Hardcore. He was obsessed with it; I guess he was tired of waiting for Bruce Lee to come back. So he’d listen to these early rap compilations with their extended mixes especially made for breaking. I wasn’t really into a lot of it, music wise, but this is one of the tracks that stood out for me. Laid Back were—still are—a Danish dance funk duo. In 1990 they released a single, “Bakerman.” The video was directed by none other then fellow Dane Lars von Trier, the film director known for torturing Bjork in Dancer in the Dark.
