Abdul Malik

Contains 8 performances.

According to David Abdulah

'The outstanding Grenada/ Trinidad and Tobago poet, Delano DeCoteau, well known as Abdul Malik, who now resides in the UK, has in his work expressed very important truths about our society. In the ‘70’s and early ‘80’s his poems “Pan Run” parts one and two described vividly how the steelpan was born out of struggle and the repression and scorn which official society had for this instrument and its working class creators.
