Über El Chojín

Rapper born in Torrejón de Ardoz near Madrid in 1977 to a father from Equatorial Guinea and a mother from Extremadura, and one of the longest-running figures in Spanish hip-hop. He debuted with the maxi 100% = 10.000 in 1997 and the album Mi Turno in 1999, and has kept releasing for close to three decades. His lyrics return to racism, non-violence and the treatment of immigrants, and he has worked with Amnesty International on campaigns of his own. He holds the Guinness record for most syllables rapped in a minute, set at 921 on the track Vo-ca-li-za.
