Abstract
This article draws an overview of the origins, development, and maturation of the musical (though in many ways syncretic) phenomenon of rap, which has deeply acclimatized in Russia in the last two decades. What can be specifically defined as russky rėp has led to the rise of a great number of artists representing different subgenres and styles. Some have been able to establish specific bonds with their audience through codes, channels, and discourses that bring them close (with due distinctions) to the “bards” from the latter half of the 20th century. This is partly due to the renewed ostracism they face in today’s Russia, which at times compels them to operate within an illegal underground landscape.
L’articolo ripercorre la nascita e lo sviluppo del fenomeno musicale (per molti versi sincretico) del rap, profondamente acclimatatosi in ambito russo nel nuovo millennio. Quello che puo venire definito specificatamente come russkij rėp ha dato modo di emergere a moltissimi artisti e artiste esponenti di sottogeneri e stili diversi. Alcuni di questi hanno saputo riallacciare un rapporto specifico con il pubblico sfruttando codici, canali, metodi discorsivi che li avvicinano (con i dovuti distinguo) al fenomeno dei “bardi” del secondo Novecento, anche per la rinnovata clandestinita o quantomeno per l’ostracismo che incontrano nella Russia di oggi.
