Direito e Rap: a desigualdade racial pela voz de Djonga

Abstract

The present work has as main objective to identify in the songs of the album “Ladrão” (2019) by the rapper from Minas Gerais Djonga, elements that denounce racial inequality in Brazilian society. The discussion about the violence that black people suffer in the country is necessary, since Brazil had its history built on the slavery of black and indigenous people, and, as a result of these violences, these same people currently suffer through racial prejudice. , police violence, social exclusion and structural racism. Over time, RAP has been claiming, fighting and gaining spaces that were historically denied to black and peripheral people. In view of this, the Brazilian social context was approached from the racial perspective, and thus, the importance of the RAP as a complaint mechanism was demonstrated. In addition, a parallel was made with the concept of Necropolitics developed by Achille Mbembe. Thus, from the analysis carried out, it was possible to conclude that the RAP is a strong instrument to resist the system.
