Festival Art Sonic

Using influences like Arab and African music, Hakim “Bouchkour” Meridja, Aurelien “Komian” Zohou, Jeremie Gregeois, Moritz Von Korff, Frederic Peyron, Idir Derdiche and Gregoy “Zigo” Mavidorakis formed the reggae group Dub Inc (previously Dub Incorporation). The French group has been making music together for over a decade and write their songs in a variety of languages like French, English, Arabic and Kabyle.

It is a complete understatement to say that they have a large fan following. Taking the stage met with a deafening cheer from the crowd, each member would take up their instruments and take their place on the stage. There is so much energy flowing through, from the crowd to each member of the group, with everyone giving and taking from this energy. It is really quite amazing to see how flawlessly Bouchkour and Komian can switch from one language to another for each song. They love the crowd, and make sure to let them know by giving it their all for the entirety of the show. They utilize all of the stage to make sure that all sides of the crowd gets their attention. The music flows though you and moves you to dance and there is absolutely no fighting it.
