BET J, Television channel pays tribute to Dub Poetry

Indeed, from the 6th of October at 11pm on BET J, you will be able to watch the first episode of the documentary serie: Word Sound Power.

Word Sound Power

 

'Word Sound Power is an artistic force uniting the African oral tradition of rhythmic dub poetry and the literary art form of spoken word to form the voice of a new poetic generation. Its themes express conscious creativity from the streets and represent the influence of revolutionary works by artists such as Bob Marley who addressed controversial issues such as racial oppression, religion, war, education and universal justice. Each half hour episode features 4 performances accompanied with insightful interview clips that give viewers an intimate connection with the poets and their influences. Shot at exclusive locations in the Caribbean, every episode also has a visual theme interlaced within it via the locations used and the atmosphere they create. The show is hosted by M1 from the group Dead Prez.' (source Word Sound Power myspace)

The cast: Busy Signal, Etana, Mutabaruka, Ginjah, DYCR, LSX, Charlie Bobus and a couple of other word sound artist.
