2. H I P H O P C U LT U R E
Hip hop is a cultural movement developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily by African Americans. Since first
emerging in The Bronx and Harlem, the lifestyle of hip hop culture has today spread around the world.
The four historic “elements” of hip hop are: MCing (rapping), DJing, urban inspired art/tagging (graffiti), and b-
boying (or breakdancing). Source: Wikipedia
IN THE SPIRIT OF ZHENGHE
T H E C H I N E S E H I P H O P C U LT U R E W O R L D T O U R
will share Chinese MCing, DJing, graffiti arts and b-boying with the international Hip Hop community.
At the same time, our Chinese Hip Hop artists will learn from Hip Hop artists from around the world as well as from
the experience of traveling to distant lands.
In a way, this will be a cultural exchange, a Hip Hop cultural exchange...
... that will be experienced, not only by our Chinese Hip Hop artists, but by their fans in China and the rest of the
world through the ever-expanding cornucopia of traditional, new and interactive medias.
