Area 23, Hip Hop and Venezuela’s Cultural Revolution

Jorney Madriz or ‘Master’ as he is commonly known, is a rapper with hip hop group ‘Area 23’, based in ‘23 de enero’, one of the most militant low-income barrios, that encircle the country’s capital Caracas.
by Pablo Navarrette




Like most of the other barrios in the Caracas, ‘23 de enero’ is a bedrock of support for Hugo Chavez government, in power since February 1999.

In a country where it is impossible to escape the polarised political situation, music is no exception. ‘Area 23’ are one of a number of hip hop groups in Venezuela that have aligned themselves in support of the controversial radical process of change underway in the country under the Chavez presidency.
