Sign language interpreter goes viral over rap concert

On any given night, a rapper like fast-rhymer Twista is the star of the stage. But for just one show, a woman furiously moving to the lyrics of the Chicago rap star took the spotlight.

The woman is American sign language interpreter Amber Galloway Gallego, who is from Houston. The fast moves of signing to Twista, who is known to have some of the fastest rhymes in rap, not only impressed the rapper, but millions of viewers of a viral video.

The craziest part: Gallego told ABC13 she didn't even get to practice the song before stepping on stage. But she was able to keep up with one of the world's fastest rappers.

Gallego, who has worked concerts for artists like Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar, said she tends to think fast and talk fast, and that makes her sign fast. She said the video was not planned. Instead, the rapper noticed her signing and told his manager to record her without her knowing.

Then, he made her part of the show, challenging her to keep up as he rapped.
