Resumen:
In this article we aim to study the production, distribution and consumption of political contemporary rap music in El Alto and La Paz , Bolivia. In these two towns, various youngsters’ groups mix hip hop music and ancestral rhythms in order to make a discursive construction about Aymara and Bolivian identity; to criticize the discrimination they suffer; to “create awareness” about different citizenship issues and to educate other young people.
