Toteking, poetry and prose of hip hop with the Fundación Tres Culturas

The Fundación Tres Culturas and the Barcelona Libraries, in collaboration with the publishing house Blackie Books, are organising an activity of the Tres amb Llibres (Three with Books) club, especially dedicated to promoting reading among new readers. This event will revolve around the book by the Sevillian rapper Toteking, 'Búnker: memorias de un encierro, rimas y tiburones blancos', which will be at the club on 8 April from 7.30 p.m. along with the writer Elisa Victoria.

The first event of this virtual 'Three with Books for Young People' aims to bring together sport, music and reading. For this reason, the CBS Femenino basketball team and students from the Colegio Aljarafe from Seville and the Institut Martí Pous from Barcelona will take part in the event. Between February and March, they will read and comment on the book through the Tellfy application, with the world Poetry Slam champion Dani Orviz as the conductor.

Finally, on 8 April there will be a face-to-face meeting that can also be followed through our social networks with Toteking, and Elisa Victoria -author of the bestseller 'Vozdevieja'- as the speaker. This event will take place at the headquarters of the Fundación Tres Culturas and will be open to the public, with limited tickets upon registration.

"To travel to your memories is to look for a fight", says Toteking, and that is precisely the proposal of this volume in which the artist dives into his intimate memory to explain the forging of his character, the philias and phobias that make him a unique personality in the Spanish music scene.

"We are united by obsession, we work around obsessions that are normally very creative", says the writer Enrique Vila-Matas, the book's prologue and the author's literary guide, about Toteking and his 'Búnker'.

Places to attend in person are limited, so it is essential to register in advance. The event can be followed on Youtube and Facebook.
