- Spanish hip hop
Spanish hip hop music began in the late 1980s. Break dance crews used mainly American recordings, while local rappers practiced for very small underground audiences. A few rock bands, like
Os Resentidos ,Kortatu andTDK tried and recorded some approaches tohip hop music , but kept most of their hard rock background.In 1989
Troya Dscs&Rcrs label released the first Spanish hip hop LP: "Madrid Hip Hop ", a compilation of four bands from the province of Madrid:DNI ,Estado Crítico ,Sindicato del Crimen andQSC . The record presented two cuts of each band.Later in 1989,
Ariola major label tried a new push to establish some hip hop stars, with a new compilation of Madrilene hip hop music: "Rappin Madrid ", introduced more soloists and groups, likeMC Randy & D.J. Jonco .Both attempts mostly failed, but helped to establish a viable scene in
Madrid .The most important places of Spanish hip hop, apart from Madrid, are
Barcelona (7 Notas 7 Colores ,Sólo los Solo ,Falsalarma );Zaragoza (Violadores del Verso ),Seville (SFDK ,Toteking ,La Mala Rodríguez ) andMálaga (Hablando en Plata ,Triple XXX ).Other important Spanish hip hop bands are:
