CRICKET WORLD CUP RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2007
Cricket World Cup Overview
In 2007, reggae music got a fresh boost with the release of the Cricket World Cup Riddim. This project came at a time when Caribbean culture was in the spotlight, especially with the Cricket World Cup happening that year. The riddim’s foundation was built on classic reggae sounds, mixing heavy basslines with uplifting melodies. It was designed to bring people together and celebrate both music and sport. The sound architect behind this project, the producer known as VARIOUS ARTISTS, helped shape the riddim’s unique style. VARIOUS ARTISTS is not just one person, but a name used for different collaborations. This approach allowed for a mix of sounds and ideas, keeping the music fresh. Releases under the VARIOUS ARTISTS name often appear on reggae compilations and have reached listeners worldwide. The artists on this release added their own touch. Admiral Bailey gave us “In The Game,” bringing his energetic style. Assassin delivered “West Indies On To Go,” with lyrics full of pride for Caribbean cricket. Beres Hammond Feat. Buju Banton teamed up for “Pull It Up.” Beres Hammond is famous for his soulful voice, and Buju Banton is a Grammy-winning reggae star. Bunji Garlin & T.O.K brought power with “Get Up Stand Up,” mixing dancehall and soca energy. Each song carried a message of unity and celebration, keeping reggae’s spirit alive in 2007.
