Linton Kwesi Johnson - Dread Beat and Blood
Rare BBC Documentary (1979)
I have been after this for ages, last time I saw it was on The Community channel years ago
Describes the art and life of Linton Kwesi Johnson, black English poet. His attempt to create a new oral poetry from the patois and reggae music of his native Jamaica has thrust him into the role of spokesman for Britain's black community
Director and producer, Franco Rosso
Run time 46:29

I bought a pirate copy of the film Babylon a few years back and this LKJ documentary was tagged on to the end of it. And very good it is too. _________________ Richard Eddington is innocent.

I was nearly going to buy the Babylon DVD a while ago for the Documentary because I could never find the Doc on Youtube, I'm glad I waited  _________________ I'm having bags of fun |
