Work introduction
This rap, while giving a look into the reality of an urban environment and its subcultural dialect, grows with the grandeur that comes with a title referencing the eternal 'Lieder ohne Worte' by Mendelssohn.
In addition, one of the meanings of the verb to rap, namely to criticise, translates into this piece, a rap without words where Víctor Díaz Guerra (to whom it is dedicated) and his duo partner (pianist José María Villegas) take turns at the leading role in a truly dialogue-like manner, leaving no room for the listener to even miss the graffiti.
What is necessary to perform this work?
