description This article has as its starting point the argument that, while a group of styles and cultural forms spread world-wide from the Afro-American ghettos of New York in the 1970’s, hip-hop, in Angola, had a particular reception and appropriation. For the Angolan contemporary youth, the cultural incorporation of those styles and cultural forms to the national reality represented, despite the calculation of the consequences, an effort to update and modernise the national culture on the emergency of a public space provided by the end of the monopartisan regime. In this context, the so-called “social intervention rap”, mainly produced by the young from the lower classes, has been assuming itself as an artistic instrument through which rappers combine the cultural emancipation to the exercise of the democratic political participation.
