The poems are written from a new and powerful poetic form called "Cuss Poems". Pucko Poetry is influence by the oratory and potency of the Pocomina Churches in Jamaica.

BUY PUCKO MUSIC

PUCKO (Peoples United Cause for Knowledge and Overstanding) MUSIC is a moment in time, a session, a recording and a performance.

Influenced by popular Reggae and Dancehall anthems, PUCKO MUSIC seeks to interpret the music of poetry, through the potent sounds of Reggae Music. The lyrics are taken from Desmond Faada Johnson's Deadly Ending Season (1984) and Pucko Poetry (2003 Akira Press Publications Limited).

They are performed with a voice amplified with the guttural sounds of the Griots, "speaking from a standpoint of age 'perience", focusing on history, contemporary platitudes that marginalized a people, echoing the call for "betterment, peace and love", warning of the danger if a "tradition slip into oblivion", joining the chorus of voices chanting down Babylon, seeing hope and fortitude, in a world of Experiences.
