HIP-HOP

 The history of hip hop music

BY ELENA BISMPIROULA C'3

Hip hop or hip-hop is a subculture and artistic movement formed in the late 1970s by African-Americans and Puerto Ricans of the South Bronx, New York. It became more widely known in the late 1980s, while in the 2000s it became the most popular music genre in the world.

 

 Afrika Bambaataa with DJ Yutaka of Universal Zulu Nation in 2004

DJ Afrika Bambaataa of the Zulu Nation, considered one of the three Founding Fathers of the hip-hop movement,highlighted the cornerstones of hip-hop culture, coining the following terms: the verbal rhythmic style of MCing or emceeing, DJing, i.e. the reproduction and in parts changing of songs and sounds with record players i.e. turntables and DJ mixers (aurally) b-boying/breaking (physically) and graffiti art, which he characterized as "aerosol writing" (visually).Other elements of hip hop subculture and art are, among others, hip hop culture and historical knowledge of the movement (intellectual and philosophical), beatboxing a genre of percussive sounds, street dancing, African American slang, and the genre of hip hop fashion and style. The term "hip hop" was first used, in writing, by Stephen Hager in The Village Voice newspaper.

One of the most amαzing aspects of art is its ability of being able to evoke all the emotions and provoke thought.

VOLUNTEERISM-A WAY OF LIFE

ANIMAL WELFARE PAROS

 

    By Symeoni Xeniti C'4

Animal Welfare Paros has been operating officially since 2014, but animal volunteers have existed since 2011. The aim of the article is to share with the newspaper readers my personal experience as a volunteer.

The responsibilities of a volunteer are not demanding, intended to meet the basic needs of animals and the refuge. The "difficult" daily life of a volunteer in the Paros shelter includes daily animal care, tidying up of their area of residence and play time with the completion of the above "unbearable" work. Anyone can become a volunteer, helping in their own way.

The people who care for the animals at the same time takes care of the island's image, animal safety and reinforces the feeling of humanity which seems to be missing nowadays. If you have a little free time, give it a try and help out at the shelter that you would like to part of the team.

 

ΕΘΕΛΟΝΤΙΣΜΟΣ-ΕΝΑΣ ΤΡΟΠΟΣ ΖΩΗΣ

Γράφει η Συμεώνη Ξενίτη Γ'4

Η Φιλοζωική  Πάρου λειτουργεί επίσημα από το 2014, όμως φιλόζωοι εθελοντές υπήρχαν από το 2011. Στόχος του άρθρου είναι να μοιραστώ την προσωπική μου εμπειρία ως εθελοντής με τους αναγνώστες της εφημερίδας.

Οι αρμοδιότητες ενός εθελοντή δεν είναι απαιτητικές, σκοπό έχουν να καλύψουν τις βασικές ανάγκες των ζώων και του καταφύγιου. Η «δύσκολη» καθημερινότητα ενός εθελοντή στο καταφύγιο της Πάρου, περιλαμβάνει την καθημερινή βόλτα - φροντίδα των ζώων, την τακτοποίηση του χώρου διαμονής τους και το χρόνο παιχνιδιού – συντροφικότητας με την ολοκλήρωση των παραπάνω «δυσβάστακτων» εργασιών. Ο καθένας μπορεί να γίνει εθελοντής βοηθώντας με τον δικό του τρόπο. 

Ο άνθρωπος που φροντίζει τα ζώα παράλληλα φροντίζει την εικόνα του νησιού, την ασφάλεια των ζώων και ενισχύει το αίσθημα ανθρωπιάς που έχει χαθεί στις μέρες μας. Αν έχετε λίγο ελεύθερο χρόνο κάντε μια δόκιμη και ενημερώστε το καταφύγιο.
