contents Hip-Hop Guayaquil: culturas viajeras e identidades locales Shanti Pillai Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) This paper addresses how people selectively interpret images and sounds which circulate through the global media, investing politically-charged forms of popular culture with new, locally significant political meanings. Hip-hop is a genre of contemporary music characterized by the orchestration of rapped lyrics, fragments of music recorded in the past by other artists, and electronic instrumentation, all superimposed over a regular and steady beat. As a kind of music, accompanied by its own forms of dance and fashion, hip-hop is the product of the travel and transformation of a variety of black political ideologies, constituted in changing relations with one another and with the dominant cultures against which they struggle. Hip-hop, in its context of origin is linked to politics of identity defended by black youth. In this essay I explore the role that hip-hop plays in the formulation of an identity on the part of black and mestizo youth from the popular sectors of Guayaquil, Ecuador.
