November 12th is Hip Hop
November 12th is Hip Hop Day and celebrates the rich hip hop culture, which emerged in the 1970s in the Bronx, New York, and arrived in Brazil in the 1980s. This cultural movement combines music, dance and social actions as a form of resistance to social injustices. In Brazil, hip hop gained prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially in cities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, reflecting the social and political realities of the country. The date recognizes hip hop as a movement that promotes inclusion, diversity and the fight for social justice. In Brazil, hip hop encompasses several elements, such as: Rappers who address issues such as social inequality, racism and violence; Graffiti, used by artists to convey messages on the streets; Breakdancing and other urban dances, with frequent competitions and events; and DJing, essential to create beats and mixes characteristic of the style.
