Y42K
This re-release celebrates the thirty-fourth anniversary of Roi Kwabena’s career. Thought provoking yet entertaining, Spokenword combined with diverse musical rhythms of the Caribbean. Kwabena's drumology and voice with support by “pickle & sam” of blueplanetsound (Zurich) then based in Birmingham's famed culture district of Moseley. Hauntingly infectious "obeahman", "cascadura" and "westindia" tracks have featured on several MP3 charts on the Internet for a record breaking two years. While "forgive debts" became the anthem for the now historic Jubilee2000 “Cancel Foreign Debt” and subsequent “Make Poverty History” campaigns. A collectors Item. “….harvests his consciousness & handles his art in a creditable manner…” Trinidad Guardian “…exploring the possibilities & landscapes of the self …” Lennox Raphael
