#SOUL - Amir Issaa ospite di Monica Mondo

Amir Issaa, musician, rapper: a well-known name, brought to our attention by the academics of the Crusca! While discussing a rapper with vulgar and violent lyrics at Sanremo, Issaa argues with us that rap isn't allowed to be anything but ordinary, as with any other artistic expression: those who speak to an audience have goals and responsibilities, and he, saved by music, uses words to tell his story and to have his say on the world. Words as weapons, which never hurt. Rap ​​is a free narrative tool, free even from politics and ideology. It gives voice to the underprivileged, to injustice, but without flaunting the success and wealth of too many parvenus blessed by success. An Italian-Egyptian, or rather, very Italian, with an Egyptian father, rescued from the streets thanks to encounters with influential educators, Amir teaches Italian studies at universities, collaborates with schools on inclusion projects, unleashes the rhythm and nurtures our beautiful language; he is a warrior who builds and never forgets the suburbs where he grew up.
