"Cyprus meets Romania mixed from a dub cave in Transylvania." Haji Mike

"Dub Poetry has always been my first love and I have massive respect for the acoustic poetry/ spoken word of Haji Mike the Cypriot Gil Scott-Heron meets Mutabaruka. He is the Mediterranean 1 love messenger!" Obeah

Haji Mike aka Mike Hajimichael
Dub Poet – Radio Presenter – DJ – Writer – Doctor of Philosophy

Born in Marathovouno, Cyprus, and rasied in London, England, Haji Mike is one of the most well known artist in the far eastern Mediterannean island. He’s been on the BBC (Rhythms Of The World TV Programme, and Andy Kershaw live radio sessions) and has graced many radio stations. Lyrically he has appeared on many artists creations not only on dub, but hip hop, acid funk, dance and world music. He’s toured extensively throughout the world in South Africa, Japan, UK, Jamaica, Greece, USA, Ireland, France, Portugal and his homeland, Cyprus. Currently he DJ’s on 3 stations weekly including Nice Up Radio, Riddim 1 Radio & Feel It Radio.

Haji Mike is also an Associate Professor Head of The Department of Communications at The University of Nicosia, and has lectured at conferences throughout the world. He recently completed the book ‘Bob Marley and Media Representation and Audiences’ (Rowman & Littlefield, 2023) and presented it in Jamaica at the University of West Indies. One of the latest music collaboration projects featuring Haji Mike is called ‘Sharka’ by Chaka Chouka, an online collaboration with Simon Webster, Bernard O’neill, and Mouna Eddrou, a scintillating mix of reggae, Moroccan music and funk. Sharka has lyrics in four different languages and Haji’s socially engaged dub poetry lyrics are complimented perfectly by Mouna’s Sufi inspired singing. Morocco is a cultural crossroads where North African Berber culture meets the Middle East, the Sahara, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. Chaka Chouka’s music is a reflection of this and also links seamlessly with the African roots, traditional “mento” music and jazz/ R n B influences of reggae.
