On the back of recent performances in Paris and Cape Town, the
renowned Nigerian Spokenword artiste/Poetographer REZthaPoet has just
released a new Spokenword material which is themed on identity and the
celebration of heritage.
REZ’s poetry is distinctly Nigerian in topical exploration and in
expression; yet, infused with elements of the traditional Yoruba ewi
(poetry) that is very popular in West Africa, the South Americas
(Brazil, Argentina etc.), the Caribbean Islands as well as everywhere
else across the globe with roughly 65 million Yoruba speakers spread
across. The Yoruba infusion to the English delivery is further spiced
with doses of Pidgin in its delivery.
This distinct brand of Spokenword/Poetry is what REZ has
consistently shared with diverse audiences across Nigeria and
internationally, on platforms where he has been privileged to share his
art with the best around the world in Spokenword, Poetry and Literature
in general.
Having been on the road travelling a lot in the last 3 years, “I
AM” is a spokenword expression that seeks to reinforce and encourage
pride in one’s heritage and culture inspired by REZ’s experiences on the
road. It also seeks to Introduce (or re-introduce) REZ in a different
light to known audiences as well as to entirely new audiences.
“I AM” is off the EXPOSIT (Deluxe Edition) Album which is due for release in the coming weeks.
Having released the EXPOSIT EP in November 2015 (you can listen
here sound cloud or download here www.rezthapoet.com), the EXPOSIT LP
(Deluxe Edition) is a full body of artistic expression which lovers of
the arts, poetry and even music will enjoy.
