- 14:19Το Τραμπέτικο: Όταν το Παλιό Συναντά το Νέο | Νέγρος Του Μοριά | TEDxDUTHΟ Νέγρος Του Μοριά μοιράζεται τη μουσική του διαδρομή, από την εφηβική του ανακάλυψη του ρεμπέτικου μέχρι την ενσωμάτωσή του στη σύγχρονη hip-hop σκηνή. Μέσα από μια προσωπική αφήγηση γεμάτη πάθος και ιστορικές αναφορές, διερευνά τη σχέση ανάμεσα στο ρεμπέτικο και το hip-hop, δύο μουσικά είδη που πηγάζουν από την ανάγκη έκφρασης και την κοινωνική πραγματικότητα της εποχής τους. Η ομιλία του αποτελεί ένα ταξίδι από τους τεκέδες του Πειραιά μέχρι τις γειτονιές της Αθήνας, αποδεικνύοντας ότι η μουσική δεν έχει σύνορα—ούτε χρονικά ούτε πολιτισμικά. Black Morris (Kevin Zans Ansong) is a cutting-edge musical artist with one of Greece’s most successful hip-hop labels, Stay Independent (based in Greece). A rapidly rising star, he is one of Greece’s most streamed artists and an influential voice in Greek civil society. Kevin has been featured in prominent media outlets like Liberation, Deutsche Welle, Vogue Greece, and BBC. His album “THRASOS,” produced with Grammy-winner Christopher King, blends his Greek and African roots, merging hip hop with traditional Greek music. His artistic name, "Νέγρος Του Μοριά," nods to Greek history. Kevin's music celebrates identity and heritage, particularly in underprivileged neighborhoods of Athens. Recently, he ventured into acting, starring in the award-winning 2023 film Black Stone and also appeared in TV series and hosted a 2020 music show.
