Abstract:
Female rappers in the Arab world have increased in both number and prominence in recent years. Yet, while there is extensive bibliography on female rap in the Western world, few studies have examined female rap in the Arab world. This paper represents a preliminary approach to this phenomenon, offering a general overview of the female rappers in various Arab countries and the different issues they address. The paper then goes on to analyze a corpus consisting of the texts of the young Egyptian rapper Mayam Mahmoud, who has become internationally famous, highlighting linguistic aspects as well as the themes. The topics preferred by female Arab rappers include political problems in their country and social themes such as the situation of women, their day-to-day reality, the struggle against sexism and solidarity among women. The language used is direct, straightforward and free of social conventions. These aspects are in line with “conscious” rap created by women around the world. Rap music has become a vehicle through which women seek to secure a share of the power, affirm their choices and build alternative visions of their identity. ; Las raperas en el mundo árabe han ido aumentando y ganando notoriedad en los últimos años. Si bien encontramos una extensa bibliografía sobre el rap femenino en el mundo occidental, existen pocos estudios sobre el rap femenino en el mundo árabe. Esta investigación constituye un acercamiento preliminar a este fenómeno, ofreciendo un panorama general de los nombres de las raperas en los distintos países árabes y los temas abordados. A continuación, el trabajo se centra en el análisis de un corpus formado por los textos de la joven rapera egipcia Mayam Mahmoud, que se ha hecho famosa internacionalmente, y destaca tanto los aspectos lingüísticos como los temáticos. Los temas de las raperas árabes consisten en problemas políticos vinculados a su país y cuestiones sociales como la condición de la mujer, la denuncia del sexismo, la realidad vivida a diario, la solidaridad femenina. El lenguaje utilizado es directo, desafilado y libre de convenciones sociales. Estos aspectos están en consonancia con el rap “consciente” femenino en el mundo. La música rap se convierte en un vehículo a través del cual las mujeres buscan asegurarse una parte del poder, afirmar sus elecciones y reconstruir visiones alternativas de su identidad.
