The El Valle Originals festival returns to Elda, reaffirming its commitment to promoting hip hop culture and creating intergenerational spaces. This project, driven by the HdeCultura collective and supported by the Department of Culture, reaches its third edition with the aim of continuing to grow and bring this cultural movement closer to the public.
Under the motto "Roots and Branches", the festival proposes a journey through the historical foundations of hip hop while promoting new generations of artists. The program will unfold over several days next month, between June 6 and June 20, combining participatory, training, and exhibition activities.
