Petate Session Hip Hop Event

Yesterday I was fortunate to be able to go to a hip hop event by the name of Petate Session. It was mainly a break dancing competition but it also included a performance by local hip hop emcees. The event was hosted by Otherside Crew, on their blog they state "Porque nosotros no somos gringos ni europeos sabor orgullosamente mexicano" (Because we are neither gringos nor Europeans, a flavor that is proudly Mexican). The hip hop culture of Mexico definitely has its own flavor, the break dancing community appears to be very passionate and united. I was happy to see that there were break dancing crews that included bgirls. I also noticed a real community feel, the more experienced bboys help others improve their skills. They also show a lot of love to younger kids who are learning to break. Below I've included a video of one of the battles.
