Bendito Amor Riddim – Kingston Records

Released in 2014 on Kingston Records, Bendito Amor Riddim brings together eight reggae cuts with a strong Spanish-speaking lineup and a clear roots-and-conscious feel. The set features Jah Bantu’s Lo Que Tengo Para Darte, Mike Joseph’s Jah Is Holy, Pampi Judah’s If I Know, Perro Mc’s Blessed Love, and Sista Claudia featuring Marcus Black on Bendito Amor, alongside cuts from Mexico, Ecuador, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Spain. It plays like a cross-Latin Caribbean link-up rather than a single-scene project, with the title track tying the package together and Jah Bantu’s opening tune helping set the tone. Kingston Records keeps the production focused and uncluttered, letting the artists carry the message across one shared rhythm.
