Background notes
Archive material and source history
Baba Brinkman is a Montreal-based artist who adapts ancient literature into hip-hop. His 2010 album 'Gilgamesh' retells the Mesopotamian epic through rap and spoken word, with songs like 'Prologue' setting up the story. Some scholars questioned his interpretation of the text, while others appreciated how it made the old myths feel immediate.
After 'Gilgamesh', he turned to Geoffrey Chaucer with 'The Rap Canterbury Tales' in 2013. He has also worked with the Sun Ra Arkestra, blending his approach with cosmic jazz. His live shows have featured musicians like DJ Akin on turntables and Nick Fraser on drums.
