Dub poetry is a form of performance poetry of West Indian origin, which evolved out of dub music consisting of spoken word over reggae rhythms in Jamaica in the 1970s. Unlike Dee Jaying (also known as Toasting), which also features the use of the spoken word, the Dub Poet's performance is normally prepared, rather than the extemporized chat of the Dancehall Dee Jay.

  • Dub poetry is a form of performance poetry of West Indian origin, which evolved out of dub music consisting of spoken word over reggae rhythms in Jamaica in the 1970s. Unlike Dee Jaying (also known as Toasting), which also features the use of the spoken word, the Dub Poet's performance is normally prepared, rather than the extemporized chat of the Dancehall Dee Jay. In musical settings; the Dub Poet usually appears on stage with a band performing music specifically written to accompany each poem, rather than simply perform over the top of dub plates, or riddims, in the Dancehall fashion. Musicality is built into Dub poems, yet, Dub Poets generally perform without backing music, delivering chanted speech with pronounced rhythmic accentuation and dramatic stylization of gesture. Sometimes dub music effects, e.g. echo, reverb, are dubbed spontaneously by a poet into live versions of a poem. Many Dub Poets also employ call and response devices to engage audiences. Dub poetry is mostly of an overtly political and social nature, with none of the braggadocio often associated with the dancehall. The odd love-song or elegy appears, but dub poetry is predominantly concerned with politics and social justice, commonly voiced through a commentary on current events (thus sharing these elements with Dancehall and "Conscious" or "Roots" reggae music). Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ)'s album Dread Beat an' Blood first appeared in 1978 then Oku Onuora's Reflection In Red in 1979 followed by Benjamin Zephaniah's Rasta, and many others in the early 1980s onwards. Although the genre was most popular in the 1980s and 1990s, many dub poets are still active today; dubstep musician Kode9 works almost exclusively with MC The Spaceape, who MCs in a dread poet style over most tracks on the Memories of the future album. Toronto, Canada, has the second highest concentration of Dub Poets preceded by Jamaica and followed by England. Poets like Lillian Allen, Afua Cooper, and Ahdri Zhina Mandiela are among the founding mothers of the Canadian Dub Poetry legacy. LKJ still runs LKJ records in the UK, a label which publishes both his own books and music, and also that of other musicians and poets. Zephaniah continues to publish in the UK. He has written novels as well as poetry. He was put forward for the post of Oxford Professor of Poetry in 1989 and UK Poet Laureate in 1999, and was also offered an OBE in 2003, which he declined. Many of the dub poets have published their work as volumes of written poetry as well as albums of poetry with music.
  • La poesía dub es una forma de interpretación poética consistente en el recitado o declamación de versos sobre una base de música dub y reggae. Al contrario que en el toasting o el dancehall, en los que también se recita, la representación, normalmente, está mucho mejor preparada y estudiada, dejando a un lado la improvisación. Además, en muchos casos, el poeta aparece en el escenario acompañado por un grupo musical que interpreta en directo las melodías, mientras que en el toasting o el dancehall se recita sobre bases musicales pre-grabadas. Las letras (o poemas) tratan habitualmente de aspectos de la vida política y social, con una fuerte carga militante, aunque también existen canciones de amor o elegías. Este estilo musical apareció en Jamaica a finales de la década de 1970, con la aparición de una serie de álbumes considerados las piedras fundacionales del estilo: Dread, Beat an' Blood de Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ) en 1977, Reflection In Red de Oku Onuora en 1979 o Rasta de Benjamin Zephaniah en 1980. La explosión de la poesía dub ocurrió en los 80 y continuó en los 90, ya que muchos de los primeros artistas continúan con vida.
  • La dub poetry est une forme d'expression poétique née dans la communauté jamaïcaine, en Grande-Bretagne et en Jamaïque, à la fin des années 1970.
  • Il Dub Poetry (letteralmente "Poesia Dub"), è un sottogenere del reggae, e più precisamente del dub, che trae influenze dallo stile dj style. Il genere è caratterizzato da una poesia parlata registrata sopra la base dub, e si sviluppò nei tardi anni 70. Tra i maggiori artisti dub poetry spiccano Mutabaruka e Linton Kwesi Johnson, che raggiunsero la popolarità dai fine anni '70 fino ai metà anni '80.
  • ダブ・ポエトリー (dub poetry) はレゲエ音楽に乗せた朗読詩である。ダブ・ポエトリーを行う詩人のことをダブ・ポエット (dub poet) という。
  • Dub poetry (poezja dubowa) to gatunek muzyczny, obejmujący recytację lub melodeklamację tekstów poetyckich, zazwyczaj zaangażowanych społecznie, na tle muzyki reggae i dub. Korzenie stylu wywodzą się z Jamajki. Za pierwszy album dub poetry uważa się nagraną w 1978 w Londynie płytę Dread, Beat an' Blood Lintona Kwesi Johnsona. W odróżnieniu od techniki toastingu, poezja dubowa jest z reguły wcześniej ułożona, w większości przypadków wokalista pojawia się na scenie z grupą muzyków grających specjalnie ułożone podkłady pod jego teksty. Do najbardziej znanych twórców dub poetry należą obok Johnsona Benjamin Zephaniah, Mutabaruka, Michael Smith oraz Jean 'Binta' Breeze.
