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.
