DESCRIPTION |
Jamaican reggae artist and dub poet virtuoso Yasus Afari brings his eclectic and celebrated brand of Caribbean music to the masses with his new album Public Secret. Afari is hailed as one of reggae music's leading lyricists and one of the world's most prolific dub poets, who consistently delivers with witty, creative and cleverly articulated content. Public Secret, his 8th studio effort, stays true to form and is destined to defy and redefine reggae dub poetry.
Exhibiting profound lyrical mastery, along with his integration of social-political issues facing mankind, Afari's works are thought provoking and audibly pleasing. His poetic justice continues with Public Secret, which exemplifies Afari's intelligence and firm stance at the helm of the dub poetry genre. The album offers 15 tracks, all written by Afari, and sees 10 original selections along with five (5) dub versions of selected songs. Penning prolific poems on singles such as "Wine Pon Paper," "Poetree Caan Nyam," "Do Good," "Ring Pon Comedy" and "Guidance," Afari seamlessly blends his provocative, educational missives with one-drop reggae and other rhythms, giving longtime and new fans a collector's item. |
