BRAZIL

Volume 6 Issue 2

“Significantly though, at its heart and a still important aspect of Brazilian hip-hop is its connection to Afro-diasporic culture, favelas, and a youth identity that is often politicized. This is what has always been so compelling for me, and for the many who have chosen to live their lives in Brazilian hip-hop as artists, researchers, or writers. I am proud to be the editor of the first journal issue dedicated to this topic - I can only hope it inspires much more writing, listening, research, creativity, and most importantly, dialogue between U.S. and Brazilian hip-hop.”
