Cuzco: Indigenous Hip-Hop Artists.
Indigenous Hip-Hop artist Wire MC and his partner in lyrics Choo-Choo, fight for aboriginal rights and social awareness / change through their beats. Here they speak about the power of the word and describe hip-hop as a template for political speaking. Cuzco believes that the force behind this art-form is ideal for self-expression and for changing peoples mentalities by attacking their brains. They encourage others to either help a disadvantaged community or fight for what they believe in, and conclude that getting out there in these ways brings feelings of peace and fulfillment. This video was made by Talula Rose toward completion of requirements for a BA majoring in Media in the school of English Media and Performing Arts at the University of New South Wales.
