From January 8 - 11, 2009, Santiago, Chile, hosted a hip hop festival celebrating 25 years of hip hop in their country. With reverence to the old school (starting with using Afrika Bambaataa’s “Planet Rock” song title as their festival name), the festival was a display of graffiti artists, b-boys, DJs and MCs. Check out a few highlights.
