Today, all lovers of dancing to catchy music can join the Hip Hop Day, UNN reports.
On August 11, 1973, DJ Kool Herc threw a party where he introduced a revolutionary DJ technique known as breakbeat.
Using two turntables, he lengthened the instrumental breaks in funk songs, creating a continuous rhythm that allowed the dancers to showcase their movements to the maximum. This innovation laid the foundation for what would become a global cultural phenomenon.
The influence of hip-hop goes far beyond music. It has become a powerful vehicle for social commentary, giving voice to marginalized communities and addressing issues such as racial inequality, police brutality, and urban poverty.
The genre has also had a profound impact on fashion, language, and the visual arts, shaping global youth culture in countless ways.
Today, on the second Sunday of August, Ukraine celebrates two professional holidays: Construction Industry Workers' Day and Veterinary Medicine Workers' Day.
In the context of full-scale Russian aggression and the need to restore the destroyed infrastructure and housing stock, the profession of a builder is becoming a key one in our country.
Today, about 250,000 people are officially employed in the construction industry in Ukraine.
Today is also Veterinarian's Day. Many Ukrainian families have pets that also need their medical care.
Specialists who treat animals have been appearing since humanity began taming them.
The first school of veterinarians appeared in France in the 18th century on the personal initiative of King Louis XV.
According to unofficial global statistics, dog owners are the most likely to visit veterinarians.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of the Holy Martyr Euphemius.
Euplius was a priest on the island of Sicily. He converted many local people to Christianity through his sermons.
During the intensification of the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian, Euplas was captured by pagans. The preacher did not deny his faith in the Lord. For this he was tortured for a long time and then executed.
On August 11, Yevhen, Vasyl, Maksym, and Mariia celebrate their name days.
