School Kids

Here we had a conversation with the Parisian middle schoolers. They were mostly first and second-generation immigrants from Northern Africa and spoke fluent French. When we asked them what music they listened to they replied with many American artists particularly hip-hop artists. However, they did mention a few French artistes. When we asked them why they listened to Hip-Hop they told us that it reminded them of friends and family they had left behind. For them it was a means of communion with loved ones. It also embodied their personal struggles they had to face.
