The famous Albanian singer, Rovena Dilo, has caused a wave of public reactions after a strong statement about rappers and the influence of rap music on society.
During an interview, Dilo expressed her concern about what she described as a "provocative genre," which she said could encourage dangerous behavior and polarize young people.
“If you listen to Albanian rap, 50 percent become criminals,” Dilo said, adding that music should be a “nourishing, inspiring, beautifying tool,” and not an impulse toward violence or extremism. She also raised a rhetorical question: “What inspires a rapper: to take a Kalashnikov and kill, or to throw champagne at your head?”
The artist's statement has sparked much debate in the public and on social media. Some support her concern, pointing out that the messages often conveyed by some rap music can normalize violence and negatively affect young people. Others, however, consider it questionable that Dilo holds an entire genre responsible for the actions of individuals.
Art experts and sociologists say that music, including rap, often reflects social realities and societal issues, and cannot be considered the sole cause of criminal behavior. However, Dilo emphasizes the importance of artistic responsibility and the impact that violent messages can have on young people who are in their formative stages.
Due to her long career and strong reputation in the Albanian music scene, Rovena Dilo's words carry special weight and have sparked a broad debate on the impact of art and music on society, raising important questions about the artist's role in educating and raising public awareness. /GazetaExpress/
