ERKEZ HIPHOP

Erkez Hip-Hop has established itself as one of Tunisia’s leading hip hop groups. Born in 2018 amidst the bustling streets of downtown Tunis, Erkez Hiphop emerged from the creative minds of the multidisciplinary artists’ association, DEBO TUNIS, and bears witness to an often overlooked yet fiercely resilient generation aspiring to justice and inclusion.
Adopting an innovative approach blending local « mezwed » folklore, rap and electronic sounds, Erkez Hip-Hop creates a time-machine-like performance that draws us into a kind of avant-garde nostalgia.
For E-FEST, Erkez Hip-Hop invites the creation Wizdom, a performance art that fuses text, sound and image to deconstruct gender stereotypes and reinvent the future of unpaid care through the energy of rap.
The fruit of the Production Invisible: 8:45 initiative, this immersive creation is the result of a Hip Hop residency that brought together 11 young artists around three disciplines (rap, beatmaking, and VJaying).
