Brazilian Performers go beyond the Street: The Queering and artification of Hip Hop
Daniela Vieira dos Santos,
Derek Pardue
Abstract:In this article we argue that Brazilian hip hop has opened up and become transgressive in terms of commodification practices, spaces of performative occupation and racial and gendered identification. Such expansion has meant not only an ideological broadening of what counts as hip hop and Black but also where such expressions are recognized as legitimate. This article focuses on the work of Emicida, Linn da Quebrada, Rico Dalasam and Jup do Bairro.
