Les Racines Du Hip-Hop Au Québec (Livre)

In this book, the birth of local hip-hop is told by its first cohort. By its leading actresses and actors who, as early as 1978, organized hip-hop evenings with DJs tuned to the sound of New York, in neighborhoods such as "La Petite-Bourgogne" and "Notre-Dame-de-Grâce", in Montreal; who hosted hip-hop radio shows at the very beginning of the 80s and who highlighted the talent of the first rappers and female rappers from here. By the artists who pioneered urban dances, popping, locking, breakdancing. The roots of hip-hop cannot be as exclusively white and francophone as we have been told for years.
