To celebrate the diversity of urban music, styles and culture throughout Europe is the main aim of the ambitious artistic melting pot called Diversidad. 20 different artists (including Dutch rappers MC Melodee from La Melodia and GMB who was also part of ‘Kyteman’s Hiphop Orkest’) from 12 different countries speaking 8 different languages came together to create a masterpiece that is destined to be an integral part of Diversidad. The Diversidad album showcases that urban music is a mixture of musical styles and not a prefabricated box with rigid boundaries. Diversidad will also include a festival tour, a graphic art exhibition, a movie and a digital community. The liveshow will be a unique innovating and multidisciplinary show created with the artists from the album and other musicians, dancers, choreographers and DJ’s. Diversidad will start their European tour at Eurosonic Noorderslag.
