DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW: MUTABARUKA - THE SYSTEM (LIVE, NEW YORK, 1984)

MUTABARUKA - THE SYSTEM (LIVE, NEW YORK, 1984)
DUBROOM VIDEO REVIEW




WWW, May 2008 - "It's the second time we play here in New York, maybe there's a third time", Mutabaruka says just before he starts to recite his poem The System together with a backing band.

Although it wasn't Mutabaruka who started the discipline of DUB Poetry, he is definitely one of the strongest in the genre. With his poetry based on Rastafari consciousness, and a solid band to lay a musical foundation, there's much more than just a positive musical experience that you can receive when listening to the words.

In the year of George Orwell, Mutabaruka visits New York city and chants down Babylon with the truth once again, just like he keeps doing until this very day in 2008.
