TRAVEL LOVE: Amor De Viaje
California’s own Kubri tells his story of returning to Latin America after the election of Donald Trump through this one-of-a-kind musical short film—TRAVEL LOVE: Amor de Viaje. His premiere project showcases a number of musical styles—ranging from sultry lettered urban hip hop sounds to world latin rhythms and even party-ready reggaeton, all produced, written and performed by Kubri. On his adventure (told in a mix of Spanish and English), Kubri perseveres through loss and falls in love, encountering people from all walks of life along the way. He collaborated with internationally minded Latin American youth and an artist-incubator record label in Mexico City to bring to life his unique cinematic vision. Travel Love—you don’t want to miss it.

Kubri (which means “bridge” in the Egyptian dialect) is a 29 year-old multicultural one-man band: a thespian, director and hip hop artist born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After producing theatre and teaching English in Nicaragua for two years with the Peace Corps, Kubri decided to take his talents to the next level and embarked on creating an ambitious musical film with youth from all over Latin America. Kubri’s trademark sound can be described as laid-back and captivating, and his creative work always strives to motivate and bring people together from all walks of life.
