Mutabaruka is a dub poet who has been performing in Jamaica and all over the world since the 1970s. Over the years he has made his mark both as a page-poet and as a dynamic performer and he has reached his audience through sound recordings and books. In this interview he discusses the reasons that initially led him to write, the development of dub poetry as opposed to deejay music, the relationship between his poetry and traditional English poetry, the importance of religion in Jamaica and his work as a radio host (for his show “The Cutting Edge”) and record producer. Well-known poems by Mutabaruka, including “Revolutionary Poets”, “Dis Poem” and “The People’s Court” are also discussed, providing some insight into their composition.
