An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Also you will notice Kung Fu movies on this site as well. What does this have to do with Blaxploitation? Well, the more action packed Blaxploitation films did not just street fight. Oh no.....they thought they were Kung Fu Masters. Chinese martial art movies gave a sense of invincibility to these actors. Seeing how cool it was to be a masterful fighter, why not just integrate this with Pimpin', Hustlin', Jive Talkin' and Pam Grier? Blax-Pride!!!

We're not entirely sure how the Black Emanuelle soundtrack (issued as Emanuelle Nera with a more explicit cover in Spain and Italy) was licensed for release through the USA disco label West End! Perhaps it's because there are quite a few chunky disco-funk tunes on here, so it's worth a spin. A kitsch mix of tongue-in-cheek male chant and percussion jams with cheesy sambas and tight choppy guitar funk cuts, it's certainly one of the better Italian Emanuelle scores and will work hard on any leftfield dancefloor.
