Synopsis by Mark Deming

A group of musicians and rappers who deliver the sound and groove of hip-hop through live instrumentation rather than rhythm machines and turntables, The Roots have earned a reputation as one of the most exciting and challenging live acts in hip-hop, and this concert video captures the group on stage with a roster of talented guest stars. Recorded in New York in the summer of 2004, The Roots: A Sonic Event features appearances from Mobb Deep, Young Gunz, Skillz, Jean Grae, Martin Luther, and more.
