Abstract
The objective of this contribution, written by a researcher and rapper of extensive experience in Argentina, is to reflect on the origins and development of hip hop in Argentina since its emergence in the 1980s. The lack of archival material and the scarcity of documentary sources which might have served as valuable input for this contribution, prompted the authors to use a variety of sources. The authors used oral history and private archives as the primary methods of data collection. This article recovers testimonies from Argentina’s first emcees, DJs and local party organizers, thanks to whom the authors were able to identify three sources of origin.
