Dub Poetry

Dub poetry is an expressive and politically charged music genre that merges the rhythmic cadence of reggae-dub music with the poignant intensity of spoken word poetry. Originating in Jamaica during the 1970s and gaining popularity in the UK, this genre is characterized by its emphasis on the power of the spoken word to address social, political, and cultural issues, articulated over the hypnotic beats of reggae. Artists like Linton Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka are pioneers, using their art to voice the struggles, resilience, and identity of the African diaspora. Dub poetry is not just a genre of music; it's a form of cultural expression that educates, mobilizes, and inspires, embodying the spirit of rebellion and the quest for justice and equality, all while maintaining a deep connection to the roots of reggae and the rhythm of the Caribbean.
