Embrace the word power of American Regie Cabico, Australia's Morganics, the UK's Lemn Sissay and Vancouver's Kinnie Starr, underscored by the improvised grooves of Sal Ferreras and his band Poetic License and accompanied by the visual pyrotechnics of VJ Candelario Anderade.
Spoken World is a celebration of poetry, but the addition of improvised music and sensuous visual effects will transform the evening into a powerful multi-media event. The artists assembled for Spoken World have performed on worldwide stages to international acclaim. The UK's Lemn Sissay returns to Vancouver with his captivating voice and soulful take on the world following his 2005 appearance at the Vancouver International Writers Festival. Australian hip hop artist Morganics also returns to Vancouver bringing his mind-blowing, kinetic energy and American Regie Cabico makes his debut on Canada's west coast with his politically charged words. A hit at the 2008 Festival, Vancouver-based musician, performer and poet Kinnie Starr is an artist with a message and a stirring voice to proclaim it.
