GEKAH ❤️🔥💥✊🏾 • Alberto Gekah Divergente, rapper, product of the periphery, showing his fists in defiance… “Orgullo de barrio”, the pride of the suburb. Which suburb? The identity of Alberto Gekah goes with Divergentes, his band from 2008 to 2014 together with Geño and Le Green. When Gekah decides to start his solo career in 2015 his rap becomes harsher like the title of one of his latest works “Realismo Sucio”- “Dirty Reality”. But rap hasn’t ever been an individual enterprise but is collectively determined and socially embedded. That’s the environment where Gekah, lives, breathes and works with the people of Beat Can Records, the label focused on urban music, and Asiria Álvarez, whose work with the camera is essential in the videos of Gekah, where image and music become one. The photographic work of Asiria Álvarez does much more than documenting, for she creates the visual narrative key for understanding Gekah’s cry. • #gekah #10inch #vinyl #orgullodebarrio #djdrsocrates #tropicaldisporarecords @dj_garrincha @dj_dr.socrates @tropical_diaspora_records @tropical_diaspora_party #canarias #islascanarias #hiphop #africa (at Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTRdWWljbLB/?utm_medium=tumblr
