The Evolution Of Hip Hop
For half a century, Hip Hop has continued to shape and define youth culture, evolving from an underground movement in New York City, to a global powerhouse. As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this dynamic music genre, we also honour the birthplace – the vibrant borough of The Bronx. Hip hop is an inclusive culture that beautifully blends together various elements such as graffiti, DJing, Emceeing and breakdancing. Originally nurtured by the black and latino youth, the Hip Hop culture served as a beacon of expression revealing the raw realities of life. In the journey of discovering Hip Hop, you are not just exploring a music genre, but the colorful tapestry of a culture rich in history, artistry and activism.
