In this essay-feature, the musician, programmer and publisher Pedro Gomes talks to four artists associated with creole rap, who tell us stories from the neighbourhoods of the Greater Lisbon area and the South Bank. It also shows us the photos that the photographer Diogo Simões took for Electra. The encounter of words and pictures is accompanied by the rhythms of a music that has recently taken hold. This section also has the collaboration of Otávio Raposo with a brief history of Creole rap. ‘By registering their experiences living in marginalised territories and challenging the subordinate position occupied by the Afro-Portuguese in Portuguese society, these rappers forged a collective identity that served as a shelter in an environment marked by hostile conditions,’ we are told by the anthropologist.
