Spoken Dub Meets Sankofa!

About this event

Spoken Dub is a musical artform that reinforces the unity of a scattered people. It is a form of ancestral re-membering by fusing the best in African Diasporic musical and creative traditions.

Spoken Dub has four central ingredients:

1) Continental African Spoken Word Oral Tradition of Djali Kunda’s at times referred to as Griot’s,

2) Roots Reggae of the Caribbean

3) Delta Blues Guitar from the African American tradition and

4) Unapologetic African Global, Social and Cultural Consciousness.

This unique blended musical form metaphorically reverses the triangular slave trade by uniting our people through the familiarity of the artistic genius of Africans who found themselves on the African Continent, The Caribbean and the USA. Spoken Dub is not choreographed and is entirely driven by spirit and impromptu creativity. Therefore, no two performances of the same Spoken Dub title will ever be the same. Our goal is to induce a trance like experience that stimulates as many senses and ancestral remembrances as possible.

These experiences are meant to reshape, reunify and solidify what it truly means to be those who descended from the foothills of the Mountains of the Moon.

Africa is forever.
