 The Evolution of Dub Music - ReggaeFusion.com
By 1976, dub's popularity in Jamaica was second only to Rastafarian roots reggae, and the sound had also found acceptance the U.K. (thanks largely to the Island label), where roots reggae artists like Burning Spear and Black Uhuru became just as well-known for their forays into dub.
Dub derives its name from the practice of dubbing instrumental, rhythm-oriented versions of reggae songs onto the B-sides of 45 rpm singles, which evolved into a legitimate and accepted style of its own as those re-recordings became forums for engineers to experiment with the possibilities of their mixing consoles.
Full-fledged dub albums began to appear in 1973, with many highlights stemming from Tubby's mixes for producers Bunny Lee and Augustus Pablo (the latter of whom also played the haunting melodica, which became one of dub's signature added elements); other key early producers included the minimalistic Keith Hudson and the colorful, elaborate Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Everyone has their favourites, but these may be the better known poets: Wallace Stevens, E E Cummings, W H Auden, William Empson, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Sylvia Plath, James Wright, and Ted Hughes.

 Mutabaruka to perform in Lincoln, Nebraska
Mutabaruka was known in Jamaica from the early 70s for his independently published poetry collections, Outcry (1973), Sun and Moon (1976) and The Book: First Poems (1981) before he gained notoriety internationally from his acclaimed debut album Check It, released in 1983.
Those who follow reggae music may know the artist Mutabaruka as one of the leading exponents of the genre known as "dub poetry." The form derived as a natural extension of the Jamaican oral tradition and poetry, combined with a musical backdrop of the island's well-known reggae rhythms.
To call Mutabaruka merely a "dub poet" belies his accomplishments in music production, radio, film, and business.

Modern Welsh, like English, makes very little use of inflectional endings; British, the Brythonic language from which Welsh is descended, was, however, an inflecting language like Latin, with word endings marking such grammatical categories as noun case and verb tense.
