| Baba Brinkman
has been writing and performing original rap/spoken word
poetry for eight years, earning himself a wide reputation
as a thoughtful and engaging lyricist with a dedication
to bridging the gaps between the worlds of rap music and
literary poetry. In 2004, he started the company Babasword
Productions to create and promote educational literature-based
entertainment; through that company he produced and distributed
his debut hip-hop album Swordplay and created the first
annual Rap is Poetry concert. Baba has toured his hit theatre
show The Rap Canterbury Tales to seven cities around the
world, including Prague, Montreal, Edinburgh and San Francisco,
and brings it with him this year to WordFest.
