Abstract

The following study identifies the sociological relationship between social networks and music from an ethnomusicological perspective. In order to achieve this articulation, the collaboration network of the rappers of Cali (Colombia) was identified in the late nineties through Social Network Analysis (SNA) (Borgatti, Everett and Johnson, 2013). The methodological development of this work presents the application of the ARS to a musical case of a collective nature. The results show the character of the network of youth collaborations the lyricists belonging to the hip hop culture and its scene. The analytical premises of the SNA (Watts and Strogatz, 1998; Watts, 2004) allow identifying some of the formal properties of the established network, while the cultural materials acquired through the field work make it possible to establish the level of complexity of the relationship and interactions that the network evidences.
