BMG44/Senegal
The musical highlight to wrap up Ars Electronica: both African Hip-Hop bands, BMG 44 and Pee Froiss, are joined onstage by the Spanish-American duo Lucky Kitchen (Prix Ars Electronica 2002 Award of Distinction in Digital Musics) and Anticon (Honorary Mention).
BMG 44 and Pee Froiss present Senegalese HipHop, the actual power of which lies in its political dimension. The HipHoppers actively oppose the commingling of Islam and politics that is ubiquitous in Senegal, and advance the emancipatory effects of rap.
Lucky Kitchen’s compositions include acoustic and digital movements that blend to such a degree that they cancel each other out and thus become a third auditory state: organic digital.
