A staple on the music scene in Kingston, Jamaica, since 2009, JAH9 and The Dub Treatment is fronted by dub poet and social activist Janine Cunningham. JAH9 promotes messages of positivity and empowerment, layering poetry about gender and the African diaspora over playful, effervescent grooves, and the group's upcoming album, "9," due out in September, is listed by United Reggae as one of the "most anticipated reggae albums in 2016."
JAH9 and The Dub Treatment will perform Friday, July 29, at Abilene Bar and Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. 10 p.m. $10-$12. abilenebarandlounge.com; jah9.com.
