For the last Listening Session we travel to the beginnings of german hip-hop and talk about its social impact until today—with Torch! Hip-hop is more than just a music genre—hip-hop is a means of political expression, lifestyle, and attitude. As an artistic and musical medium, it began to influence music production and culture in Germany in the s. Torch was the first to freestyle in German. Together with the music group Advanced Chemistry, he laid the foundations of hip-hop culture in Germany.
Torch is a central networking figure within the German hip-hop scene and is active as a rapper, musician, and author. He will provide insights into how hip-hop works as a language and means of communication and what intentions and visions open up within it—and there will be more to hear in the DJ set that follows!
Invited artists and musicians bring selected pieces of music and share their knowledge about their genesis, composition, and cultural implications.
