Mutabaruka, reggae dub-poet
extraordinaire, mixes music, politics, humor, poetry, Afro-centricism and much more in
searing exposés of life on Planet Earth. In this dramatically-lit nightime
performance at the 1993 Reggae Sumfest held at Montego Bay, he stalks the stage barefoot
and dreadlocked, dressed in prophet's robe, waving a huge Rasta banner, flanked by his
long-time backing band and three dancers. Interspersed with a musical rollercoaster
of reggae, soca, rock, African sounds and even classical music are his searing monologues
on drugs, the Pope, tourism, the government, McDonald's and poverty. |
