THE LAUNCH
Donation protected
This campaign is to raise funds for the launch of Kokumo’s two books, DUB TRUTH and PIPE DREAM.
Kokumo is a UK based artist born in the ‘Cock-Pit Country’ of Jamaica. A child of the Social Revolution era, which lends to his development as a social commentator. He also credited this to the shaping of his Mind-set and attitudes towards society and life in general.
Considered as not just a poet, but a cultural anthropologist and dub-griot, who uses his skills as a singer/songwriter to captivate an audience, whilst taking them on a dub-poetical journey.
Kokumo’s mastery of his Jamaican language and his experimental use of English idiom is skilfully woven in his poetry, exposing the richness of his cultural background. This complexity have drawn attention from not just his contemporaries, but also those in the academic arenas. From French journalism students and professionals, to students of linguistics.
Kokumo's debut album, “Writing’s On The Wall”, is dubbed a very significant piece of work, which captivates the militancy and advocacy of dub-poetry, in present time and generations to come. His book Dub Truth is described as another masterpiece, which defines Kokumo as an artist on a mission, with the ability to cast poetic spells.
PIPE DREAM is his latest offering and he felt it is important to launch both books, giving the public a more direct and engaging experience of his skill as a poet and singer/songwriter.
Kokumo is reaching out to his fans for their continuing support, to make this launch possible and for him to be able to carry on his works.
Thank you for your support.
