  Hip hop music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Hip hop is an originally American cultural movement which is composed of four main parts: breakdancing and graffiti art, along with two more well-known aspects collectively known as hip hop music; they are rapping (emceeing) and DJing.
Hip hop was popular there at least as far back as 1976 (first record: "Rhythm Talk", by Jocko Henderson in 1979, 1979 in music), and the New York Times dubbed Philly the Graffiti Capital of the world in 1971, due to the influence of such legendary graffiti artists as Cornbread.
Hip hop had always had a significant connection to the Latino community in New York City, and hip hop soon spread among Latinos.

Italian theatre can be traced back into the Roman which was heavily influenced by the Greek tradition, and, as with many other literary genres, Roman dramatists tended to adapt and translate from the Greek.

 Ritmo
Italian unification (1861/71) has been propagated as an instance of decolonization by which the Kingdom of Sardinia (actually an area under the rule of Piedmont which included the island of Sardegna), having rid itself of its Austrian governors, supposedly set out to liberate the South of its Bourbon rulers.

Italian rappers and those of Italian origin from around the world met to discuss and debate the finer points of their art, their concerns and aspirations.
The earliest Italian rap, which developed throughout the 1980's, was for the most part a direct emulation of what was happening in the Bronx.
At first, Italian rappers mostly addressed contemporary social issues like the Mafia, government corruption (the rise of hip-hop coincided with the fall of the ruling party that had governed Italy for nearly 50 years), immigration, heroin addiction, homelessness and the high unemployment rates in the South.

Its development parallels the integration of the Italian peninsula and the plains south of the Alps into a cultural and national unity.
With a strong infusion of Latin for religious, academic, and educational purposes, written standard Italian has tended to be highly formal and divorced from the many regional dialects, which are often mutually unintelligible.
Italian has provided English with much of the vocabulary of music, such as adagio, arpeggio, cello, crescendo, and pianoforte; Italian cuisine (lasagne, macaroni, pasta, pizza, ravioli, spaghetti, tagliatelle); and an assortment of social comment (extravaganza, graffiti, imbroglio, mafia, seraglio).
