Bantu Village Riddim – Central Records

Central Records keeps Bantu Village Riddim moving at a lively soca pace, and the best thing about it is the way the lineup gives the riddim different shades without losing its party pull. Orlando Octave’s “Beauty” and Benjai’s “Say What They Want” bring the hook-heavy, road-ready energy you’d expect, while Lady Lava’s “Feeling Away” and Marlon Asher’s “Party Started” tilt the set a little sweeter and more melodic. The whole thing runs to seven tracks, including the instrumental, and it lands like one of those 2018 soca releases that sits neatly between fete-season bounce and a more polished studio feel. Central Records has a habit of keeping its riddims concise and singer-friendly, and Bantu Village fits that part of the catalogue well: compact, tuneful, and built for repeat play.
