Kubix
Music Activist
Music Activist is the second solo album from Kubix, a renowned guitarist on the international reggae scene. After 'Guitar Chant', which brought him to the public's attention as a solo artist, Kubix returns with a second album of Jamaican jazz. In an era dominated by radio-friendly formulas, 'Music Activist' positions itself as an act of artistic resistance: instrumental music. The album is mostly instrumental, with vocals on three tracks: Indian mantras and a speech by Albert Camus set to music. This choice underscores Kubix's desire to champion expressive music that showcases instrumentalists. At a time when short, vocal formats dominate, 'Music Activist' advocates for a return to played, improvised musical expression. It bridges musical traditions (jazz, reggae) and politically engaged thought.
