"Un-kid-ified music." Now there is a concept. Un-kid-i-fide music is music that sounds like today's music, but with the kid's focus and vibe removed; music to which the 28 to 65 or older crowd can relate. When so much music is geared to a younger market, and much of it contains objectionable, or border-line objectionable lyrics, Asure Akhi Amen, AKA A-Kube has developed a sound that is geared to a more mature market, or a market that would appreciate a more mature sound.
The music of A-Kube is truly world music and Unkidifide. His music flavor may include a vocal drawl, that some may compare as soulful and mellow as a Marvin Gaye or Sam Cook, with a soulful “like-Otis-Redding" twang. Good luck world, here comes A-Kube.
AAJ Contributor and Cross Harp Chronicles publisher David King spoke with A-Kube about Un-Kid-i-Fide Music, his group The Family, and plans to launch both at festivals in 2008/9.
