CHAIN DOWN RIDDIM (SOCA) – BOOMERANG – 2019
Chain Down Overview
The parade flow was alive, rolling down the streets with music blasting from every corner. It felt just like a sound system session, with big speakers on trucks and DJs hyping up the crowd. The Chain Down Riddim was the heartbeat of the day, making everyone dance, wave flags, and join the celebration. Sound system culture is all about bringing people together through music, and that’s exactly what happened here. The fete composer, the one who builds the energy and keeps the vibes going, made sure each song hit at the right moment. The crowd moved as one, following the beat and the voices riding the riddim. The lineup was strong. MELLO brought “BOSSES” to the parade, giving the crowd a confident anthem. MELLO is known for his catchy hooks and powerful delivery. Then came JELLO & BESS with “BIG SNAKE,” a tune that had everyone jumping and singing along. JELLO & BESS are popular for their high-energy performances and have worked together on several carnival hits. FRESH’s “JAB WUKING” brought in the jab jab flavor, adding that deep, traditional soca sound. FRESH is respected for keeping the roots of carnival alive in his music. SELECTOR JAMIE & SKOOL BOI closed things out with “GO DOWN,” a song that’s become a favorite at parties and street dances. SELECTOR JAMIE is known for his skilled DJ sets and has played at major Caribbean festivals. Even now, when people remember Carnival, these songs and that parade flow still get played.
