El rap: lenguaje (in)dependiente | Sharif Fernández Méndez | TEDxZaragoza


but what I want to talk about is rap

as a communication vehicle with

young people as a tool

communication with young people and how to

through him using rap as

spearhead

maybe we can awaken curiosity and

the interest of these young people

contemporaries by other disciplines

artistic by other areas of

knowledge

I understand that for many of you,

it will be no secret that the times

that run

the interest of young people for the

culture for knowledge is not in its

maximum its maximum exponent trying

analyze the reason for this disinterest

from that apathy we can find

different reasons maybe it could be

some for the bright ones and

cut curriculums of the

different ministers of culture that

exist

maybe it’s because a lot of young people

they realize for themselves that to day

of today studying is not what it meant

for his parents for many of those who

you are here today you realize

that maybe have a degree in

nursing or studying fp or finishing a

career is not usually synonymous with having

a future assured of having a

work guarantee and that’s them

discouragement reduces strength and will

to try to worry about knowing

for the culture regardless of the

whatever reason

What is undeniable is that there is a certain

disinterest among young people not by

know these young people from whom they

I talk if they do something besides studying

is to consume music is paradoxical that

in the face of that disinterest for the

culture and knowing what the

young people today is to consume

music in the different genres that

exist, it does not matter if it’s pop rock heavy

it does not matter if it’s rap

because these young people consume music

obviously because the music has a

a ludic and festive component full of

laughs and sex if possible but about

all because I believe that music has a

very important social component for

young people the critical age that is the

adolescence in which we want to know

about us

we try to find out what by tests and

mistakes as I tell them the music has

a social component in which the young

try to identify yourself and not just look

your identity but seek acceptance

of that identity all the young people who

they approach rap they do it because they

they feel identified with what

They listen and feel are identified

they feel accepted and they find the world

around him a little less hostile one

little kinder and that is very important

in that age so critical and so beautiful

how is adolescence

on the other hand the ratio one

inherent characteristic that is in

your DNA that is very important so that

these young people approach him

and is that compared to the rest of different

musical genres is the one has a

very important peculiarity and is that with

very little you can do rap any

young with little more than a computer and

a micro and a little inspiration can

try to make a rap song and that

accessibility that simplicity at the time of

approach rap is another of the great

strengths points that have why

allows each one of the listeners that

approaching the sit down as part and

like everything from something bigger something that

what are the encompasses defines them

identifies and protects them

I’m used to talking

usually in another kind of forums

before other types of hearings that

maybe they are more related to rap and not for

make constant references to rap

so I think it’s time before

this audience a little bit in his appointment of the

rap make a small banish certain

prejudices

accept another mirror and other prejudices

of rap make a short short films

fashion will do it by means of

prejudices a few questions to see that yes

they agree with me or the site them

helped to shed some light with what

they believed it was true that rap is a

genre a little strident in which the

young people dress in a little way

more striking and coming back to me that I am

an elegant guy

no no no but I did not think is true is

some rappers are not very

discrete we like to draw attention

but this is something that appropriated the

rabbi any artistic discipline

has its aesthetics so this is a

prejudice that deep down makes us a lot

hurt

one of those that does hurt us and

I would like to banish forever is

that rap is a violent genre a

violent musical genre and it’s totally

false

What is certain is that rap

gestates in a somewhat hostile environment

I’m going to do a brief here there will be a

brief parentheses to make a

small history class

respect to the rap is born grows ends of

germinate in the 70’s bronx in

a very hostile environment as I say

great social revolts with a great

black community of felt very secluded

of society very undervalued

then inevitably the rap in their

beginnings in your genes

you have to that force that desire to scream

the injustice that was in its environment

but rap is not a violent genre in

no case and this is a topic that

they would want gere has discarded and

banished forever

another topic that exists around rap

is that it is a contestatory genre and

this is something that yes that’s how it is

totally true and it’s something that

we are very proud that too

is in the DNA of the rap try

denounce what we think is

abuse unfair to put the world

the view on it and yes at least

we do not change it at least we are

aware that there is

I do not know if you knew rapper one

of the greatest rappers that has

Existed Tupac Shakur American rapper

he grew up without a father his mother was a

black panther since the beginning of

rappel was already very successful because its

lyrics were very contestataria and the

they once claimed very values

positive for the community in which

He knew how to create a black community

supposedly marginalized has a song

very famous called change tupac shakur

where he talks about the fraternity of the

equality between races and that song

inspired young people of all of all

the latitudes of all the countries of

north america south america

West to try to leave a little

the challenges of neighborhood violence

conflicting so it’s true that the

rap is a rebellious genre

we are proud of that the

last prejudice we want to put them and

which also seems to me to be important

because in these times it is perhaps

too much in people’s mouths is

what would it be like to say that rap is the

new poetry and this for me is

completely false

I open parentheses and said francisco de

Quevedo and Lope de Vega

yes when in your times in your strikes

of this golden age would have existed the

rap

they will surely come up rappers

because it is a very attractive genre and

they were lope de vega and

I assure you

but fast, they are not the same anymore

they share something something that the rap shares

who shares the poetry that shares the

literature that shares music and what

what they share is the power of the word

but they are not the same

it’s not the same rap and poetry is not what

same literature as poetry but

they share the power of the word

that’s the important thing that’s what

I want

that’s what I think on top of that

young people feel some attraction

for the grand

and here, yes, I think it’s a moment

so that we rappers feel a

little proud if we draw chest and it is that

of all the artistic disciplines that

They exist in all musical genres

that exist and that I consume outside of

rap and that respect he considered rap

it is the most complex and the most expeditious

in terms of difficulty Americas

refers to no other musical genre

has a ludicrous load so far-fetched

so worked so thoughtful and conscientious

like rap and it does not stop being paradoxical

how for a long time both the

external criticism as own

rappers we were not aware of that

difficulty of the beauty that locked

rap and ourselves

we carry the genre of stigmas and

prejudices like those that before

trying to banish or accept has happened

time fortunately we have gotten

conquer much of the criticism

I’m trying to conquer here great

part of the public make the adepts to

rap but mostly I’m trying to

defend the coming of age of rabies

I think the club has become a

musical genre that is capable of looking at

equal to the rest of the disciplines

artistic feelings of being comfortable in the

society and in contemporary art and

At this point I am going to launch you

a series of poems to know if yes

know how to identify them and find

differences between poetry and ra

if I say the starry night and shiver

blue the stars in the distance

someone knows who these verses are

Chilean who alleged large neruda

Pablo and Obinna take my life for

in front leave a trace I wanted to leave

between applause

age die were only the

dimensions of the theater someone knows about

who are these verses are not they are not

of the inmortal chilenos are from jaime gil

of biedma

He left there in case someone wants us

continue one of the best poets that

we have had for me beautiful that

poem if I continue and I tell you that my

song of pain like that of a bird

caged

If I die and I am reborn I want to be

poet and a soldier

someone knows whose verses are these

when you see two people alone in the

I wonder what they do losing

the time instead of being dancing

together who are these verses for

me these two is not coincidence by

Of course you have chosen these two

Rappers as exponents for me

talk and the chosen ones why why

they have something very important in common and

is what I told you before not with

regarding poetry and literature and

rap share the power of the word

not only the power of the word but the

value and responsibility of the word

written

rafael lechowski dhabi rebollo vito

they understand that responsibility and that

value and from the humble from the

small lectern of his inspiration

they try to illuminate their own phobias

own means

fear their own uncertainties by

half of the word and step light up

gives light and warmth to everyone who

feel around the living fire of his

music like those rappers such

young people I was talking to

principle that maybe they do not have much

interest

he does not have much curiosity about culture

for knowledge by literature the

institutes consume and devour the rap of

these rappers then what is it that I

I come to defend what is the corollary

a bit of my talk a subject of

rap in the institutes

not for now not play a little

pretentious very unlikely in the

times that run but why not

because not the presence of rappers in

literature books with which you

they teach at the institutes because

to give or explain certain

examples stylistic resources

narrative techniques we do not resort to

examples of closest rappers with a

language that young people understand

with which they identify themselves in no

moment

I deny dismissed the value and the necessity

to study in letters to the great

classics

of course before mentioned lope to quevedo

all are very important in our

history but it is true that in the

times that run

just the easiest way to

try to explain to a young man that he is a

sonnet explained sonnets of

garcilaso de la vega that surely not

will understand with the one that is not going to

enjoy

maybe the best way to approach

that young man is through rap or another

musical genre that I consume here

I come to defend the rapper in the background

what I come to defend is employment and

the use of nearby tools

contemporary to young people because

I think teaching techniques

they have to evolve just like

society evolves why not

then use rap a language

powerful with this the young understand

they identify with him and above all it is

imperishable because it is renewed with each

hearing generation that is approaching

up to him so what did a

little the corollary of my talk comes to

be that in this society in which the

young people show some disinterest and

some apathy for the culture maybe the

better way we have to awaken the

curiosity in these young people is

using tools like the rap that

if they are not part of the canon of

teaching

yes it is true that they are a language

close and honest with whom the

Young people understand

he was very nervous because he did not know

used to do this or in a

audience in which they are not the rappers

forgive me my my eccentricities

come and thank Denis is the

coordinator of all this and until

contacted me to invite me to this

talk I had no intention

of dribbling them nothing because I think

which is like this is not the place nor

the moment but good she invited me and

as deep down I think it’s the only thing

I know how to make half of people I say goodbye

bone a verses a cappella

I hope you like it and enjoy it

I believe that strength is in the mind

I think the power is in the people what

that I do not believe is in the polls or in the

votes but I believe in you I believe in me I believe

in us to believe I believe that everything is

possible until the utopia of being free

infallible

time is insatiable life is

incredible death and bribable I think

that the world is a recreation that life is

a ride in a trophy and I believe in the

friends in the fallen angels god

writes recusing twisted lines and

obama does not call me mom I’m more than

woman

I believe in strength if in the strength of

music

if they have the weapons to

control you souls and time

on our part and I believe in life and

I believe in words things that never

will know created in looks

I believe in the love you give me, I do not come

only my family is what I bring

behind

I do not know about politics or law is of

the chemistry that beats under the chest

I believe in what I feel and what I intuited

mine is yours

without makeup fight with courage live

with pride and I think you can beat

to the strong stop fearing death

start running and catch the luck and

living as

come and go like the moon on the tides

kissing the roofs so you can see

I believe that courage defeats fear

the now then the water to the fire the

heart alleged

I think life is what you see I’m sorry

brother

with this I finish my tea

me
