Bio
Keny Arkana is an Argentine-French rapper who is active in the alter-globalization and civil disobedience movements. In 2004 she founded a music collective called La Rage du peuple, in the neighborhood of Noailles in Marseille.
She was born on 20 December 1982 to an Argentine family in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, and raised in Marseille. She began writing songs at the age of 12, and began rapping publicly about two years later, founding a hip hop music group called Mars Patrie, followed by another called Etat-Major. Her status in the French hip hop circles of Marseille rose, and in 2003 Etat-Major released their debut mixtape.
She released her first solo EP, “Le missile est lancé” (“The rocket is launched”) in 2004, and her first album, “Entre ciment et belle étoile” (“Between concrete and stars”), in October 2006. Her first single, “La rage” (2006), comments on the 2005 civil unrest in France.
Keny Arkana also launched a series of local social fora through the association Appel aux sans voix (“Call to the voiceless”).
Her later studio albums include “L’Esquisse 2” (May 2011) and “Tout tourne autour du soleil” (December 2012).

“Capitale de la Rupture” :
Marseille capitale de la culture 2013 ?
Exemple flagrant de l’instrumentalisation de la culture à des fins politiques, sociales et économiques ; ou comment la culture dominante est utilisée pour redessiner une ville à l’image des promoteurs et au mépris de ses habitants qui se voient expulsés peu à peu…
Ce mini-docu a voulu donner la parole aux acteurs concrets de la ville, ceux que l’on entend que trop rarement…
