What exactly is PoeticWorkz? According to founding member, Lionel Crawford, it is "like poetry in rhythmic motion, riding the beat of the drum." This statment clearly defines what PoeticWorkz is all about. Both the poetry and the music are important. One does not supersede the other, or to borrow a phrase from the actual poem entitled "PoeticWorkz" "...to have them work together in harmony, together like love, together in life." PoeticWorkz utilizes the authentic sounds of African Djembe drums, electric bass, guitars, synthesizers and electronic processors to create a unique mix.
