Buad’s debut album, KEEPER, is more than just music—it’s a movement. The album’s title track, “KEEPER”, is a bold and deeply personal anthem that speaks to cultural resilience, ancestral wisdom, and the unbreakable spirit of the Rakwane legacy of Fataleka, Malaita. Infused with reggae’s rebellious soul and traditional Melanesian storytelling, the song stands as a declaration of identity, heritage, and self-determination.

With lines like “From the root, I'm the fruit, of the tree of me ancestry, Thirty generation and dem still counting”, Buad asserts his role as a keeper of culture, carrying the knowledge of generations forward into the modern world. The official music video for "KEEPER" has already made waves, capturing attention across Melanesia and beyond, visually amplifying the song’s message and setting the tone for Buad’s next chapter: KEEPER CHRONICLES, an ongoing project advocating for cultural chants and indigenous wisdom.
