Trinidad born writer, composer and performer Anthony Joseph has followed a steep upwards career path over the last few years. After two successful poetry collections and wide recognition of his spoken word performances, Joseph's debut novel "
The African Origins of UFOs" appeared in 2006 to wide critical acclaim.
The perfect vehicle for Joseph's spoken word performance,
The Spasm Band has been touring extensively over the last couple of years, and this year's album "Bird Head Son", released on
Kindred Spirits, is his best yet - all deep afro grooves, Carribean Voodoo, polyrhythms, searing sax and, of course, incredibly accomplished lyricism.
