The left needs to create a Home of Hip-Hop within the metropolis of Geneva. This place could be totally devoted to the observe of this tradition in all its varieties: dance, rap and even graffiti. A movement to this impact can be tabled on the subsequent session of the Municipal Council.
Makala, Di-Meh and Slimka are the headliners of the brand new era of Swiss and Geneva rap and have almost 1,000,000 views.
However in addition they symbolize the paradox of hip-hop in Geneva: right now it’s the most listened to music, however it is usually the least represented in Geneva venues. This tradition is poorly supported. In accordance with the movers, particularly, The Greens, Ensemble à Gauche and the Socialists, the Metropolis subsidizes hip-hop, all disciplines mixed, to the tune of round 400,000 francs per yr. That is little in comparison with the town’s cultural finances which quantities to 275 million francs.
“A powerful springboard”
No place is totally devoted to it not like different kinds like rock. For Omar Azzabi, president of the Greens of the Metropolis of Geneva and co-author of the movement, hip-hop have to be thought-about a real artwork and never be confined to neighborhood facilities. “Neighborhood facilities don’t meet the wants in hip-hop. With further assets, we might assist younger skills in hip-hop, which right now represents the most important market in Switzerland with 234 million francs every year” , he explains in La Matinale on Tuesday.
The Geneva hip-hop scene has been calling for this place for a very long time. For Anthony Amoh, alias Tony PS, determine of hip-hop dance in Geneva and cultural activist, it might be a consecration. “I think about that having a Home of Hip-Hop in Geneva could be an impressive springboard for all artists, to each develop their motion, current to most of the people what they do and by extension probably create job”.
It stays to be seen whether or not the Metropolis will observe by means of on this mission. To this point, she has been reluctant.
