Festival Hip-Hop et des cultures urbaines

Held annually since 1990 in Saint-Denis, a town north of Paris, this festival runs over two weeks across several venues in the city, including La Ligne 13 and the Salle de la Légion d'honneur. It covers the full range of urban culture, from rap, slam and dance to graffiti, DJ sets and stand-up comedy, and includes a talent showcase for musicians aged 11 to 30 that helped launch Aya Nakamura.
