Shot live at Reggae Sumfest 1993 in Montego Bay, Jamaica
Mutabaruka, reggae dub-poet extraordinaire, mixes music, politics, humor, poetry, Afro-centralism and much more in searing exposes of life on Planet Earth. In this dramatically-lit, nighttime performances at the 1993 Reggae Sumfest held at Montego Bay, he stalks the stage barefoot and dreadlocked, dressed in prophet's robe, waving a huge Rasta banner; flanked by his long-time backing band and three dancers. Interspersed with a musical roller coaster of reggae, soca, rock, African sounds and even classical music are his searing monologues on drugs, the Pope, tourism, the government, McDonald's and poverty.

Columbus

Junk Food
