Exploring Creativity in Hip Hop

Did you know that Ireland has a national day of free creativity?

They are the only country to have something like this in place for children under the age of 18 and I think it’s wonderful.

You probably heard a song that was created by a group of kids recently. It’s called “The Spark” and it has become quite the viral sensation this year. This song was created on this special day. You can find out more about that here – https://cruinniu.creativeireland.gov.ie/

I start off the show with a clip I found on TikTok talking about it and then play this amazing song. But I wanted to explore creativity further so I started playing the excellent Ted Talk by Sir Ken Robinson, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” I interspersed that with songs that seems to fit in with what he was talking about.

And then, I play some songs that I think are quite creative.

I hope you enjoy the show. This one was a lot of fun putting together.
