Cha Changa Overview

In 2005, the Cha Changa Riddim emerged as a defining sound in dancehall, with its heavy basslines lighting up dancefloors and becoming a cultural touchstone. The riddim's success was partly due to the skillful selection by DJs who knew how to keep the crowd moving. It was a year where dancehall thrived on collaboration and energy, and this riddim captured that spirit perfectly. At the heart of this riddim's creation was SHOCKING VIBES PRODUCTION, a well-known name in the dancehall scene.

SHOCKING VIBES has been a cornerstone in dancehall, producing hits that have stood the test of time. The artists contributing to the Cha Changa Riddim brought their unique flair to the mix.
