Description (eng)

Mutabaruka, the Jamaican-born artist, activist and radio presenter, is perhaps its most fervent protagonist these days. With his voice of thunder Muta – as he is called by his many fans and followers – evolved into an iconic “Verbal Swordsman” in the struggle for African Redemption and Black Power. His influence on generations of Black people in Jamaica, Africa, and the African Diaspora can hardly be overstated. Yet his impact reaches far beyond on a global level, as he continues to travel the world with his razor-sharp lyrics accompanied by Reggae and other musical styles.
