[ES] El presente texto se basa en una investigación etnográfica con jóvenes raperos que viven en distintos barrios del partido de La Plata (capital de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina). Con el objetivo de contribuir a la comprensión de los mecanismos de construcción del rap, propongo analizar, desde la perspectiva de los mismos actores, sus procesos de formación en tanto músicos, sus prácticas compositivas de improvisación y de escritura de canciones, los criterios de validación y valoración de sus producciones y los distintos espacios sociales en los que se desarrollan estas prácticas.
