Bowers / Kung Henry
Kung Henry was conceived in 1999 when the cd-r record
satan på gatan was made. This record
was produced by henry himself, exept for the track ordblind,
that was produced by dj lo-kut. This cooperation was extended with
the first vinyl record experimentet som gick
snett, where also managern and långa skuggan appeared as
producers.
The name Henry Bowers appeared with the first record in english,
Master Mind. Henry Bowers is Kung Henry
and Kung Henry is Henry Bowers.
In 2003, Henry participated in the poetry-slam
SM (the swedish championship) in Malmö, as a part of the
Uppsala-team. He won the part of "voice and movement" in this
championship.
In 2004, the poetry-slam SM was arranged in Avesta. Henry
participated this year too. This year he won the main, individual,
part. He shared the first place together with Emil Jensen.
In 2005, henry participated in the poetry-slam SM again, this year
in Gothenburg. This year he ended up at third place in the main
competition.
Henry Bowers has also been in the 2nd world
slampionship, that was held in 2005 in Rotterdam in the
Netherlands, in conjunction with the 36th international poery
festival. He ended up at third place in this competition.
Live
Henry Bowers appears on stage in some different settings. When the
focus is on music it's together with dj lo-kut behind the turntables
and Farbror Ribba that plays the banjo. In this setting Henry raps
over beats, performs spoken word poetry and sings county songs
together with Farbror Ribba.
There are also appearances with nothing but the
spoken word, and
some other where only Henry and Farbror Ribba plays
country songs together.
