Africa We Want Overview

In 2020, reggae fans were treated to a fresh and powerful set that showed the true depth of the genre. The journey began with the creation of the “Africa We Want Riddim,” a roots instrumental shaped in the studios of CONQUERING RECORDS. Known for championing conscious reggae and dancehall, the label has built a reputation for bringing together artists from across the globe and delivering music that respects tradition while pushing boundaries. Their catalog has reached listeners worldwide, and this riddim added another strong chapter to their story. The production process was a careful blend of live instrumentation and modern techniques. The riddim’s foundation was laid down by skilled musicians, giving it a warm, organic sound. Then, dub engineer Dub Creator stepped in to add his signature touch. His mixing brought out the deep basslines and crisp drums, allowing each element to shine while keeping the overall sound tight and unified. When it came time for vocal cuts, the riddim attracted some of reggae’s most respected voices. Queen Omega’s “Israel Rise” brought uplifting energy, while Skarra Mucci’s “Real African” celebrated roots and identity. Anthony B’s “African Love” added heartfelt emotion, each artist using the instrumental as a canvas for their message. The “Africa We Want Riddim” stands out as an important roots instrumental, capturing the spirit of unity and resilience. Its journey from creation to release highlights how reggae continues to evolve, with producers, engineers, and artists working together to keep the music’s message alive.
