POTERE ALLE PAROLE: EDUCAZIONE RAP - AMIR ISSAA

Last appointment for the 2023 edition of Ponchielli Talk!

A meeting that will see the power of words and the language strength in rap music. A rich music genre, made of content, rhythm and tone that knows how to face important social themes through rhymes.

Description

Born and raised in Rome, in the neighbourhood of Torpignattara, Amir is the son of an Egyptian immigrant father and an Italian mother. He initially approached hip-hop culture in the 1990s.

His passion for hip-hop allows Amir not to feel emotional distress: Rap becomes a positive relief valve, and thanks to it Amir is able to tell his personal stories to the rest of the world.

Thanks to the use of rap as an educational tool, Amir has become increasingly engaged with the academic world and is frequently invited to perform and lead workshops outside of Italy.

In 2015 he realized 15 tour in the US, while his most recent projects see collaboration with many important Italian Foundations and, in 2023, a tour in 7 Canadian college.

The themes faced in the meeting with Amir Issaa are relevant to the transposition in rap accent of Cyrano de Bergerac “Cirano deve morire” that will be on the scene Tuesday 28 March at 20.30.
