- 13 years ago
In December of 2010 one of Tunisia's best-known rappers, Hamada Ben-Amor, was detained for days for recording a song critical of the government.
As a result, rappers -- along with bloggers -- became important forces for change during Tunisia's Arab Spring. Rapper Wajdi Mascott takes GLOBAL 3000 on a tour of his production studio, where young musicians record their rap tunes, and shows us locations which played an important role in the revolution.
