Event Details
Latino hip hop musicians are advancing the poetic traditions of their countries in unique ways. Nevertheless, academic and poetic circles have surprisingly not embraced and celebrated these artists as poets. In this lively interactive discussion, music journalist Catalina Maria Johnson will use video and lyric examples to make a case for hip hop as the new poetry, focusing on Latinos in the U.S. and the Americas.
