Happy Birthday Hip-Hop! The "De Abya Yala a Brooklyn, 50 Años de Resistencia" event was a monumental celebration of Hip-Hop's 50-year legacy, marked by the presence of legendary pioneers from the Chilean hip-hop scene: Lalo Meneses, and Jimmy Fernandez, accompanied by Rebel Diaz, MC Millaray, DJ Atenea, Fatima Rivera, Audry Funk, and King Capo. It was a musical journey that transcended borders, linking the narratives of struggle from Chile to Brooklyn. Through their powerful performances and dialogues, the event paid homage to Hip-Hop as a timeless instrument of resistance, storytelling, and cultural expression.
