6/18/2023 0 Comments Soul searching lyrics by urbandubSo, the ‘ giant sound of the South‘ gave a farewell gig to their fans last Saturday, May 9. A date that would be forever special among the Dubistas. It was the last time seeing them together in one stage, performing all their greatest hits from the six albums over the last 15 years.īefore the concert, a heavy downpour happened late in the afternoon. The sky was crying, I thought, empathizing with the fans as their favourite band would soon be taking the hiatus in a few hours. Honestly, their being “Gone” permanently didn’t sink in until the last song of the Encore. I’m still in denial during those hours before the 8 P.M. I totally get their reasons for leaving the band. Priorities, as Gabby Alipe (frontman) said in their last radio guesting on JAM 88.3. Of course, people change priorities over time and a break is badly needed after a long time of hard work. Family, business and new music adventure are among their priorities now. They need to grow as an individual musician and still spend more time with their loved ones. Urbandub had their fair share of contributing big time to the local music scene. Their music became part of every music lovers’ lives. Every song on each album became everyone’s staple on our playlist. Those greatest hits had become an anthem on every heartbreak and life’s decision. And although most of their tracks speak loneliness and pain, it is still hauntingly beautiful to hear. I’m certain that their music is as addicting as my cup of coffee every morning I cannot leave the house without having one.
