Introduction	Kokumo has being described as not just an artist but also a cultural anthropologist and dub-griot. Kokumo uses his skills as a Singer/songwriter and a Dub-Poet to capture his audience, whilst taking them on a cultural, spiritual and political journey. Kokumo’s written works have being published in numerous magazines and online journals. His most recent appeared in dialogue – a magazine for cultural literacy, No. 2/Vol. 3, (http://www.lulu.com/roikwabena), edited by the late Dr. Roi Kwabena. In 2007 Kokumo released his debut album, ‘Writing’s On The Wall’, he also teamed up with international dub poet Yasus Afari to record a single entitled, ‘Set It Off’. Kokumo’s work is being currently studied by Dr. Eric Doumerc a French academic who is conducting an ongoing research on Black British Performance Poets with Caribbean heritage. This has resulted in two full length interviews, “Life In Dub’ and “Dub Poetry Explosion” for BBC Birmingham, with an anthology to follow. When one considers the magnitude of this achievement then you get the idea of how powerful and engaging Kokumo is. One can receive no higher accolade than to be esteemed by your peers academic and otherwise.
