Kokumo’s delivery will obviously draw comparisons to Mutabaruka but there is an originality of style that will appeal to audiences worldwide.
Hailing from the parish of Trelawny, better known as the Cockpit Country, in rural Jamaica, Kokumo’s powerful voice allows his words to take flight. With a name meaning, “this one will not die” in Yoruba, his work will be around forever.
