Cultura Roots Riddim – Costa Rebel

Bookie Ranks’ “Never Let You Girl” is one of the stronger pulls on Cultura Roots Riddim, and it sets the tone for a package that leans into Spanish-language roots reggae as much as the Jamaican side of the style. Costa Rebel lines up 22 tracks here, with voices like China B, El Soldado, Jahricio, and Manu Dread carrying the riddim through a mix of lovers, conscious tunes, and straight-ahead praise music, then closes with a dedicated version cut that lets the instrumental breathe on its own. Michael Livingston’s “I Put My Trust In Rastafari” is the spiritual anchor, and the remix with Pipo Ti adds an extra layer to the session. Cultura Roots Riddim was released in 2014.
