《中英對照讀新聞》 First female rapper debuts in Afghanistan 阿富汗首位女性饒舌歌手出道

◎陳維真

"Listen to my story! Listen to my pain and suffering!’’ Afghanistan’s first female rapper Sosan Firooz pleads into her microphone.

「聽聽我的故事!聽我的苦難!」阿富汗首位女性饒舌歌手費魯茲透過麥克風請求。

With her first rap song, the outspoken 23-year-old singer is making history in her homeland where society frowns on women who take the stage. She is already shunned by some of her relatives.

用她的第一首饒舌歌曲,這位大膽說出心聲的23歲歌手在她的故鄉締造歷史,當地社會不喜歡女性登台演出,她已經讓一些親戚對她迴避。

But for Firooz, the best way to express herself is through rap, a musical genre that is just starting to generate a following in Afghanistan. She sings about repression of women, her hopes for a peaceful Afghanistan and the misery she says she experienced as a small child living in neighboring Iran.

不過,對費魯茲來說,表達自己最棒的方式還是透過饒舌歌曲,這種音樂形式正開始在阿富汗流行。她唱出女性受到的壓迫,對阿富汗和平的盼望,以及她小時候住在鄰國伊朗時的悲慘經歷。

So far, the song, titled "Our Neighbors," has only been released on YouTube, with a video that shows a series of pictures of Firooz posing in a hip-hop style gear. In some pictures, she wears a bandana with skulls, but her long hair flows freely, with no headscarf — a rarity among Afghan women.

目前,「我們的鄰居」這首歌只有在YouTube上發行,錄影帶內容是費魯茲以嘻哈造型擺姿勢的照片。在幾張照片中,她綁著有骷髏頭圖案的大手帕,沒有綁頭巾,一頭長髮自由擺動,這在阿富汗女性中很罕見。

Firooz is also an actress, appearing in secondary roles in a number of local TV soap operas. Earlier this month, she sang at a three-day music festival in Kabul.(AP)
