BAND INFO: Dubtribe Sound System is a husband- wife (Moonbeam and Sunshine Jones) band originating out of San Francisco. Bryant Street - OVERVIEW: Using a lot of sub-bass and simple beats, Dubtribe Sound System make a CD that's a little repetative, but it has some quality. A few of the tracks are spoken word and many of lyrics are in Spanish. There's also a bit of rapping, sometimes "jiving", in some of the songs. That helps them flow more easily. Some of the songs have a lot of congas in them, giving it a kind of "salsa" feel to it (along with the Spanish vocals). A few of the tracks seem to have the song just recorded twice because the samples are used over and over again.
