Move Ya Body: The Birth of House

*Move Ya Body: The Birth of House* is a compelling documentary that explores the rise of house music in Chicago after Disco Demolition Night, whose sole purpose was to destroy black music. Directed by Elegance Bratton, it blends archival footage, dramatizations, and interviews with pioneers like Jesse Saunders, Vince Lawrence, and Duane Buford to highlight the genre's deep roots in Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ communities.

The film excels in historical depth and an electrifying soundtrack but leans more into the social movement than the technical evolution of house music. While engaging and informative, it may leave some music purists wanting more. Hats Off to Elegance Bratton and vince lawrence!

**Rating: 4/5**
