A video for an acoustic live version of the track Il Faut Qu'on Ose, a track from the Paradise album by Saint-Étienne reggae act Dub Inc.
Reggae has always been the most inclusive of musical styles, adapting constantly and fitting perfectly with other music genres. Rap and a very French accordion sound are incorporated here effortlessly.
It's very much part of Dub Inc's open minded attitude, a band that performs in French, English, Arabic and Kabyle, a regional language from Algeria.
Dub Inc have been around since 1997 and have released five studio albums, Diversité in 2003, Dans le décor in 2005 and Afrikya in 2008.
The act became known as Dub Inc from 2006, and under this name they've released Hors contrôle - their most commercially successful release so far - in 2010 and their most recent Paradise in October this year.
They've built up a huge following principally on account of their live shows, and have become one of Europe's leading reggae acts on their own terms, releasing their material themselves without much involvement of traditional media.
Dub Inc are on tour in France at the moment, with a date at the Zénith in Paris on December 20.
