🎙️ ILOVEGRAFFITI PODCAST EP:094 - Jon 'RAMO' Chardiet from the Movie BEAT STREET (1984) now online at ilovegraffiti.de, Spotify, our YouTube channel and apple Podcasts 💯🎧 For the global hip hop and graffiti scene, the year 1984 was a defining moment. The movie Beat Street hit theaters and triggered an avalanche that keeps on rolling to this day. While in the West, documentaries like Style Wars or movies like Wild Style provided the blueprint, the reality behind the Iron Curtain in the former G.D.R. looked completely different. In this episode, I have Jon Chardiet as my guest, who played the iconic main role of the graffiti painter Ramo in the movie Beat Street.In the graffiti community, the film has often been viewed critically from a cultural-historical perspective. The pieces in the movie were mostly not painted by real writers from the New York scene of that time, but by film set artists, surprisingly under the guidance of Bill Blast or Phase2. The result was an often very naive, simplistic look. Yet, due to a lack of other sources, it was precisely this film graffiti that heavily shaped the style of the East German graffiti pioneers in the eighties and early nineties.Now, many decades after the theatrical release and 35 years after I saw the film for the very first time myself, the circle is complete. Jon Chardiet, now 65 years old and with a successful career as an author and actor under his belt, was a guest in Dresden for a weekend at the @all41hiphopfestival and @backinthedaysjam by the @houseofurbanculture, an annual mecca for hip hop enthusiasts, collectors, and nostalgics. Away from the hustle and bustle of the festival, I met up with Jon for an extensive one hour deep dive conversation.We talk about all the questions that have been burning under my fingernails for decades. He shares how he got the role in the first place and what the atmosphere on set in the New York of the early eighties was really like. We shed light on the bizarre translation errors in the German dubbing and, of course, talk in great detail about his legendary movie death in the fight with Spit.
