HIP-HOPDESCRIPTION:Hip Hop is an art that was born in the United States at the end of the sixties in the Afro-American and Latin American communities of popular neighborhoods of New York like: Bronx, Queens and

Brooklyn. Characteristic of the origins of Hip Hop are the music: funk, angler, Blues, Djing, the dance: hustle,

uprocking, lindy hop, popping, locking and the painting: aerosol, bombing, murals and political graffiti.

HISTORY:ORIGINSHip Hop as a music appeared in the late 1960s when street-parties or "block you departed" became frequent in the city of New York. "Block you departed" were accompanied by funk and soul, until the first DJ's started playing percussion, and the songs then became more dance. This technique was already in Jamaica, in dub music. The Jamaican immigrant community participated in certain parties. This adaptation of the lay brother, was later accompanied by another new technique: Rapping, a technique of rhythmic singing based on improvisation.

A distinguished figure, for many considered the "father of the hip hop" was Kool Herc, who together with other DJ's such as Grandmaster Flash. The

figure of the "master of ceremonies", MC abbreviated, showed the DJ all the public.

At the same time, people started to dance, reserving the best moves for when the song stopped momentarily, then a "break" was made. The B-boy (Break Boy is complete), was "the boy who used the break" for dancing. That dance was called “breakdance”.

Even though graffiti was already used at the sixties, for political reasons, they were not included in the culture of the Hip Hop until 1970 or 1971. The most innovative city for graffiti was New York taking the place of Philadelphia.

The writers, painted. Especially, great colourful letters with pseudonyms. The more distinguished writers were: Phase 2, Seen and Futura 2000.

Towards 1970 Hip Hop was divided into two fields:One had the disco music as a basis and focused on the dance and the excitation of the public. The other, fast rhythms and a combination of effects and rhythms.

At the beginning of the eighties many people thought that the Hip Hop was only a fashion.During this decade, there was a great diversification. The singers became more and more famous.Until the eighties Hip Hop was only known in the United States but little by little had arrived in: Germany, Japan, France, South-Africa, Poland, Italy, Philippines and Spain.

Some branches of Hip-Hop:The musical innovationHip Hop latinAlternative or Underground Hip Hop

From the year 2000 the singer with more success was Eminem.One of his hits is "The real slim Shady". The critics said that the lyrics of his songs were too cruel, but his fans think that they are fantastic.From 2005, the sales related that Hip Hop as a music in the United States started to go down in a spectacular way.

CLOTH AND COMPLEMENTSThere are two styles of clothing in the Hip Hop:1. The rappers and the graffiters.2. The dancers.The style of the "rappers" and "graffiters" is the following one:Caps with a rounded form and the straight and strong visor, often with drawings or graffiti.Sweaters often wide, black and white and normally creating a certain fear. If they have drawings they are usually terrifying.

Wide leg trousers, big and almost always with graffitis on the part of the bottom. Normally they are jeans with very big pockets.

Shoes are often wide. They're usually worth 100€. One of the most famous mark is Futile.

The way to dress for the dancers:Caps well rounded and very straight and strong visor.

WATERPOLO

Waterpolo

Waterpolo is a team water sport. The playing team consists of six field players and one goalkeeper. The winner of the game is the team that scores the most goals by getting the ball past the opposing team's goalkeeper into the net. Gameplay involves swimming, players passing the ball while being defended by opponents, and scoring by throwing into a net defended by a goalie. Waterpolo, therefore, has strong similarities to the land-based game of Team handball
