ENGLISHMAN RIDDIM produced by 1979 – VOLCANO
Englishman Overview
Barrington Levy, Clint Eastwood, Errol Scorcher, Roots Radics, and Rod Taylor all come together on a classic reggae riddim that still stands out today. Barrington Levy is well known for his hit song “Englishman,” which helped launch his career and made him a leading voice in reggae. Clint Eastwood, a popular deejay from the late 1970s, brings his unique style to “Brotherman.” Errol Scorcher teams up with Roots Radics, one of Jamaica’s most respected backing bands, for the track “The Daughter Dem Irie.m4a.” Rod Taylor, another key voice from the roots reggae era, delivers “Yes We’re Gonna Get Over,” a song that brings hope and unity. The reggae track base, often called a riddim, was created in 1979 and is known for its strong percussion and deep bass. The riddim was recorded at a time when dub and roots reggae were at their peak, and the sound is tight and focused. Roots Radics played a major role in shaping the music, giving it a solid foundation that many artists could use for their own songs. This collection of tracks is now leading roots reggae playlists this season. Fans and new listeners are enjoying the timeless sound and energy. The riddim continues to inspire and connect people through its powerful rhythm and legendary artists.
