There are many ways to tell our stories, to respond to discrimination in an Italy that still considers itself “white.” Rap is a global storytelling language that reaches from the Bronx to the peripheries of the world. It is an activist tool, accessible to all, that works to liberate us from stereotypes and prejudices, to clarify issues of identity and citizenship, and to make change. It is a therapeutic tool that helps us to work through anger, frustration, and personal family traumas. And it is an inclusive pedagogical voice in struggles for justice and equality.

Born and raised in the deep outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers are keeping alive the rich legacy of marimba music running through their family with their latest project, Son Rompe Pera. While firmly rooted in the tradition of this historic instrument, their fresh take on this folk icon challenges its limits as never before, moving it into the garage/punk world of urban misfits and firmly planting it in the 21st century. Originally performing alongside their father at local events since they were kids, they now find themselves at the forefront of the contemporary international cumbia scene with their sonic explorations of the classic marimba. Their absolute unique blend comes from a typical youthful rebellion, when as teenagers they left behind their upbringing on the marimba and began to play in various punk, rockabilly and ska bands.
