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!!!

One of several Italian Emmanuelle rip-offs (note the deliberate mispelling of the name) starring Laura Gemser that saw a soundtrack album release. This album has a very exotic feel - lush Italian arrangements and oriental influences. Some very groovy moments - more lounge than funk. Plenty of flute, strings and bossa nova. Listen before you buy - check out the great breathy flute dancer 'Red Hot Wax'. Some tracks have recently been reissued on the Black Emanuelle's Groove compilation.
