Silent Majority (Musical Group)
- Silent Majority (Musical Group)
Silent Majority was a Swiss rap and hip hop music group. Founded in 1994 they were produced by Goetz (U2,Faithless). Considered turntable pioneers at the forefront of Swiss hip-hop [Bogdanov, Vladimir. All Music Guide to Hip Hop: The Definitive Guide to Rap and Hip Hop. Milwaukee: Backbeat Books, 2003.] , Silent majority are unusual within the scene, defining themselves as "funky multi-linguals", and rap in “a mixture of English, Jamacian patois, French, Spanish and Swahili” [Mitchell, Tony. “Doin’ Damage in my Native Language: The Use of Resistance Vernaculars in Hip Hop in France, Italy, and Aotearoa/New Zealand”. Popular Music & Society 24, No. 3 (2000): 41.]
The members of Silent Majority decided to split up right after the release of their last album 'Nightbloomers'.
