Ranchero Pandillero
Its goal is to reduce rates of violence and substance abuse among young people through hip-hop culture, promoting peace among neighborhoods and communities.
Young people are at the highest risk of being victims and/or perpetrators of violence. Hip-hop is a culture that promotes respect, unity, and peace.
Ranchero Pandillero has a recording studio and an art studio where young people can express themselves freely and continue to grow the peace movement.
Its name comes from two words society often uses to discriminate: “rancheros” and “pandilleros”
Rap and Hip Hop
The rap collective began in August 2017 with a small group of young people who shared an interest in music, writing, and common experiences, promoting peace through conscious messages in rap and hip-hop.
What does the rap collective do?
The team is always on the lookout for new talent and supports young people seeking to develop as artists.
Our recording studio is a space that provides safety, preparation, inspiration, and creativity.
Musical composition workshops
We teach teenagers to create their own compositions from scratch in schools, neighborhoods, and communities through musical performances and rap and hip-hop workshops.
Recording studio
The doors are open to any artist regardless of musical genre.
It is free for members and available to the public at a low cost.
We prevent violence
Helping to reduce the rates of violence and addiction experienced on the streets and in the communities of San Miguel de Allende.
We promote local talent
We use the most important pillars of Hip Hop culture (graffiti, DJing, break dance and rap) to boost talent and channel teenagers’ energy into creative, positive activities, promoting the message “More lines, fewer fights.”
Graffiti
The Graffiti Collective was founded in May 2018 with artists from different neighborhoods, each with a distinctive style. It aims to help young people leave violent environments and find an activity through which to express themselves. Several members began by painting train cars illegally and now support Ranchero Pandillero by painting murals throughout San Miguel de Allende that share a positive message.
Murals with a positive message
We reduce violence and addiction among young people by promoting peace through art in communities and neighborhoods of San Miguel de Allende, developing their artistic and creative skills.
Since 2018, the collective has supported CASA and its programs by creating a range of awareness campaigns.
Art Studio
The art studio was inaugurated on July 23, 2018, with the intention of providing young people with a place to paint, offer workshops, hold meetings, and plan new art-related projects.
