Abstract
This article analyses the relationship between drill as a musical genre and the leading role played in it by the most alienated groups of young people of immigrant origin. We use Abdelmalek Sayad's theoretical tools to consider, on the one hand, the narrowing of the life possibilities of the sons and daughters of migration and, on the other hand, to understand drill as a subversive strategy against the processes of stigmatisation experienced by young people of migrant origin living in segregated neighbourhoods. To this end, we analyse the musical proposal of Key 21, one of the main exponents of drill, who lives in an area of day labourers in intensive agriculture in the south of Spain. The analysis of Key 21's songs shows the strategies of young migrant children to transform stigma into an emblem of their own identity and the identity of their neighbourhood.
