PCube Trio
Afropop, Gospel, Soul
Pi Djob
guitar, lead vocals, compositions and arrangements
Philippe Ekoka
keyboards, sequencing, backing vocals
Petis Likeng
guitar, bass, lead vocals, compositions and arrangements
All 3 are natives of Cameroon, and all three are outstanding musicians whose roots and inspirations come from Gospel, African and Afro-Caribbean music, Jazz and Soul.
It’s a blend of serene dynamism, shaped by years of experience as leaders and side-men in Africa and Europe.
The 2024 repertoire, which will be the subject of an album partly recorded in the studio and partly live, is entitled Gospelizing Kingston.
A heartfelt tribute to the pillars of Jamaican reggae, with original vocal and instrumental arrangements that are sure to surprise many a listener…
A reminder, for those who may have forgotten, that Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff and Toots Hibbert were all solid Gospel singers in their teens, and fine connoisseurs of Blues, Rhythm & Blues and Soul.
Philippe Ekoka
A great jazz and gospel pianist, Philippe Ekoka is an elegant and gifted side-man and arranger. From Africa, his maestria has crossed European borders.
He has worked with internationally renowned artists such as the Belgian-Congolese Baloji.
Those who know Philippe as a pianist and keyboardist with his legendary cap and mute phlegm will be surprised to discover him as a vocalist, exceptionally as part of the PCube Trio project.
Petis Likeng
The number of world-famous and lesser-known artists who have called on Petis Likeng as composer, arranger, producer, artistic director and musical director is impressive, with over 200 music albums produced.
For nearly 30 years, he has been a key figure in Belgian, European, Afro-Caribbean and African music.
Baloji, Zaïko-Langa-Langa, Sam MBende, Zap mama, Lara Fabian, the prestigious ESMUC school (Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya), the University of Girona, Berklee Valencia Campus, Gospel, Rap, Soul, Afropop… all bear the stamp of his voice, his masterful arrangements and his teaching skills.
He is a recognised workshop leader alongside some of the biggest names in Gospel music (Isaac Cates, Hezekiah Walker, Donald Lawrence, Dexter D. Walker, Hans Christian J., Ricky Dillard, etc.).
An excellent bassist, guitarist and keyboardist, this talented multi-instrumentalist contributes to the PCube Trio as a composer and arranger.
