In this workshop, we’ll listen to and go over the lyrics of two famous French rap tracks that share a similar theme, in order to explore the regional slang and accents originating from France’s two largest cities. We’ll examine the hip hop rivalry between Paris and Marseille and the differences and similarities in the figures of speech, idioms, catch phrases and expressions they both use. From the Paris suburbs, with the infamous group NTM (representing the North), to the most celebrated group from Marseille, IAM (representing the South), this comparative study is an entertaining and educative dive into the most linguistically creative art form since poetry.
This workshop is open to all levels.
