Allattarl! is a project that gives young people a voice and a stage through rap and texts. In close collaboration between Det Starter Med Musikken from Denmark (DSMM) and Nordens Institut i Grønland (NAPA) rap camps are created for young people in Nuuk, Paamiut, and Nanortalik.

Allattarl! brings together young people from diverse backgrounds in a creative and inclusive learning program that strengthens well-being, self-esteem, and agency through music and community. Here, participants have the opportunity to collaboratively develop their own stories, share their experiences, and express what is happening in their lives, supported by professional instructors.

On Tuesday, April 26, the first open house will be held at NUIF in Nuuk from 15:30–20:00, where Det Starter Med Musikken, in collaboration with Nordens Institut i Grønland, will introduce Allattarl! In the following two Tuesdays, open house events will take place in Paamiut at Taqqissuut and in Nanortalik at Ungdomsklubben.

During the open house events, everyone interested is invited to stop by for a conversation about participating in the rap camps in Nuuk, Paamiut, and Nanortalik, and to meet the skilled and highly inspiring instructors.

At each location, Allattarl! offers four to five energetic and memorable days filled with rap, text writing, creativity, and music, all culminating in a final concert and celebration.

Background
Nordens Institut i Grønland has entered into a cultural partnership with Det Starter Med Musikken in Allattarl! to give young people a voice, enabling them to collaboratively develop their own stories, share their experiences, and express what is happening in their lives through music and lyrics. Allattarl! is rooted in local support that strengthens young people in being heard and taking the stage, and sprung from the writing competition and short story anthologies Allatta!, developed by NAPA and partners since 2013.

Since 2018, Det Starter Med Musikken has conducted more than 20 rap camps and related intensive music programs with over 350 young participants. The rap camp format is an intensive musical learning process in which young people work closely with professional rappers, producers, and coaches in safe, creative communities that strengthen both artistic and social development. Previous participants describe the programs as life-changing experiences, where they discover new communities, find the courage to perform on stage, and realize that their voice has value.

 

See you at Allattarl!

 

The event is supported by: NAPA – Nordens Institut i Grønland, Tusass, NunaFonden, Grønlands Kunstfond, Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, Greenland Brewhouse, Bolt Lamar, LC Music, and Koda.
