Bassist Berni Benavides from Kubika takes center in this One Take Bass Performance of “Blue Smile”, showcasing a flawless display of precision, power, and emotion.
Originally released as the band’s second single, Blue Smile is a powerful and volatile track that fuses melodic, shadowy passages with crushing, visceral moments. Through this live take, Berni transforms that emotional volatility into something tangible, every note reverberating with intensity and purpose.
His performance reflects the song’s core: the inner fracture between what we feel and what we show, a struggle embodied in the track’s shifting dynamics. The bass becomes the heartbeat of that duality, steady yet explosive, intimate yet commanding.
This One Take captures Kubika’s essence in its purest form: dynamic, expressive, and profoundly human.
