This month: May comes with a poetic spring mixed with sublime lyricism, vocal dexterity and passionate verse, featuring spoken word from Polarbear; Zena Edwards; Trombone Poetry; Sh’maya Poetics with music from Ciyo Brown.
Polarbear is a writer from Birmingham who sometimes speaks stories on stage. A background in Hip-Hop and the way he was raised influences his work. www.homeofpolar.com
Zena Edwards is a London-based performance poet, writer and musician. Her vibrant poetry is inspired by her experiences of travel, particularly through Africa, as well as traditional African music and song. http://goodnewzee.wordpress.com/
Paul Taylor's trombone is familiar to fans of the Robert Pla Latin Ensemble and Snowboy & The Latin Section. Now he presents a solo trombone project combining improvised music and poetry. www.trombonepoetry.com
Sh'maya Poetics plugs the depths. His spoken word explores rhythm and jazz, the spiritual, the city, vibe vibe vibe and the great beyond. He performs lyrical pieces, tells stories, asks questions in beats and visions. www.myspace.com/shmayapoetics
With five albums to his name, Ciyo Brown’s guitar skills and smooth vocal work embrace a diverse range of styles from jazz, soul, reggae, latin grooves and inspirational themes. www.ciyobrown.com
