MAGA DOG RIDDIM produced by JOGIB RECORDS (1971-72)

Maga Dog Overview

This season, the Maga Dog Riddim is bringing new life to reggae. The one drop base forms the heart of this sound, giving each track a steady pulse that works perfectly on sound systems. In sound system culture, the one drop is powerful—it lets the bassline and drums move the crowd and keep dancers locked in. JOGIB RECORDS is the producer behind this riddim, shaping its sound in the early 1970s. The label was active in Kingston and is known for working with big reggae names. JOGIB RECORDS helped define the roots reggae era, and their productions are still played by selectors worldwide. The artists on this release each bring something special. Bob Marley And Peter Tosh perform “Maga Dog,” a song that shows their strong vocal blend. Peter Tosh also delivers his own “Maga Dog,” adding a unique twist. Tosh is famous for his solo work, including the hit album “Legalize It.” Bunny Flip’s “Maingy Dog” brings a fresh take to the riddim. Winston Scotland’s “Skanky Dog” adds deep roots flavor, while Larry Marshall’s “Maga Dog” stands out with soulful delivery. Joe Gibbs & The Love Generation close things with “Fat Dog,” showing the riddim’s range. Together, these tracks highlight the power of the one drop and the lasting influence of JOGIB RECORDS in reggae music.
