When jazz meets rap

Jazz and rap share a taste for improvisation and a need to tell the stories around them. In Barcelona, that conversation can be heard live.

Two ways to speak in rhythm

A jazz solo changes as each musician joins the conversation. A rap verse can do the same over a beat. Both leave room for response, risk and a voice of your own.

They also share a history of collective expression. Music becomes a way to tell lived stories, claim identities and turn everyday life into culture.

A conversation in Barcelona

At Pipa Club, Solomane and Boom Jazz Trio reimagined rap songs with a live jazz ensemble. The collaboration, brought together by The Rose Production, offered another way to hear the songs while respecting their roots.

Barcelona Gang grows close to exchanges like this. We care about what happens when artists and communities meet, respect where they come from and make something new together.
