A Colombian cultural promoter was invited, who offered an educational talk to the children and adolescents present there, and I remember being pleasantly surprised by the eloquent response given by a still very young Abel David to an apparently simple question, but which provoked the silence and bewilderment, even, of veteran artists: what does the word rap mean? I confess that I did not know more about this MC until some time had passed, already in full confinement due to COVID-19, when, thanks to important digital platforms such as URBE, Arte de Esquina, among others, I was able to follow his artistic career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this debut album, EIDI is committed to launching an ordeal \u2014as if it were a card game\u2014 in pursuit of an ontological search. The pieces prove it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One more day<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How sad<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EIDI<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flowers and scars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where I discover a certain autobiographical, identity spirit, at the stroke of trap, soul, rock, trova, \u201cpastilla\u201d and boom bap. But the references are multiple and varied: Greek mythology, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alice in Wonderland<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by Lewis Carroll (or the film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matrix<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?), Silvio Rodr\u00edguez, Joaqu\u00edn Sabina, among others. Hip hop culture has existed for more than 20 years in Cuba, therefore, it becomes a complex cultural text, and generational dynamics become more evident, especially in the discursive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OKf4l_V6Rhg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this young artist,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> however, the musical DNA manages to prevail, since his grandfather was a sudden singer and his father is a mo\u00f1ero and a dancer from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breakdance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#039;s encouraging that topics like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feet on the ground<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put it<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Politically incorrect<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (in my opinion, axis o <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a leitmotiv<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the album) offer us a good reason to analyze what happens philosophically with our young people and their views in the midst of so much infoxication, appropriations of capital in the Cuban cultural field \/ protagonism in the vital sensibility of our time, interior universes and ideo-aesthetic discourses regarding to the hiphop community. It is worth clarifying that there are previous albums and pieces with this same logic; I&#039;m thinking about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the morning listens to me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by Alejandro Cuello Herrera (The Lyrical Poet), <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The architects of conscience<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez (El Cid) and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clones for my city<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, from the Hermanazos group, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a global level, a cultural phenomenon has been happening for some years: from great sound spirits like Tupac, Notorious BIG, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent (all from the gangsta rap style) are derived others like Kanye West, Drake, Future, J.Cole, Juice WRLD, Frank Ocean, Lil Nas X... They even handle data as precise as Kanye West exterminating gangsta rap, or at least radically changing the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mainstream <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiphoppa on September 11, 2007 with his album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Graduation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which sold 957,000 copies in the United States in its first week alone, ruthlessly sweeping <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Curtis<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 50 Cent&#039;s third LP (691,000 copies).

Nothing I can&#039;t get over. In the musical production Tob\u00edas Alfonso, JD Asere, Museweed, Jos\u00e9 Se\u00f1aris, Chezca Zana, Rey, Dunno, Adam Font and Los Noventa worked together, who wisely managed to combine classic genres and styles (boom bap, rock, soul) with others more contemporary (drill, trap, lo-fi hip hop), which is evident in the final themes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lower him 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The response offered at that time by the young MC to the Colombian promoter has temporarily transcended, and continues to surprise me: EIDI gives us a first sincere phonogram, which says that history is not only made up of factual elements, but also by common mentalities of an era, while becoming a sound material that helps us understand (us).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Listen <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3s53SUq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>06\/01<\/em><\/a> here.<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is, in our country, a referential phonogram, since it moves within the so-called nerdcore hip hop and emotional hip hop or emo-rap.
