Send us your questions for Arthur Baker!

In New York in the early 1980s, Arthur Baker straddled the crucial intersection where hip-hop met post-punk, disco, electro, R&B and rock. He helped Afrika Bambaataa make the epochal, Kraftwerk-inspired “Planet Rock” and brought New Order into the clubs with “Confusion”, going on to work with everyone from Bob Dylan to Al Green.
