Boombox for B-Boys. This boombox provided the music for Oslo's break-dance pioneers. They earned enough money to pay for its batteries by performing at Egertorget or other places. The American hip hop culture was introduced to Norway in the mid 1980's. The film Beat Street opened in Norway in July 1984 and led to dancing in the streets outside the cinemas. Breakdance enjoyed an immediate and immense popularity. Courses were held and championships were arranged by wealthy sponsors.
