    ENTERTAINMENT RIDDIM 1983

    Entertainment Overview

    In 1983, the Entertainment Riddim became a key part of sound system culture in Jamaica. This roots reggae instrumental was built for big speakers and outdoor parties, where selectors mixed vocals and dub versions for crowds. The riddim’s steady bass and warm guitar made it a favorite among sound system operators. The dub engineer played a big role in shaping the sound. By using effects like echo and reverb, the engineer turned the instrumental into a deep and spacious experience. This helped the riddim stand out in dances and on radio. Several artists voiced their own versions over the Entertainment Riddim. Dennis Brown, known as the “Crown Prince of Reggae” and famous for songs like “Money In My Pocket,” recorded “Love Got A Hold On Me.” His smooth voice blended perfectly with the rootsy backing. Icho Candy brought a conscious message with “Selassie I,” a song that remains respected among roots fans. Lady Ann added her unique style with “Informer,” showing the versatility of the riddim. Robert French’s “Meet Me By The River” and Tristan Palmer’s “Entertainment” both added fresh energy to the project. Tristan Palmer, known for his hit “Entertainment,” helped make the riddim popular in dancehalls. Yami Bolo’s “Father Vex & Strike Back” also appeared, adding another layer to the instrumental’s legacy. The Entertainment Riddim is still remembered as a classic from 1983, loved by fans of reggae and sound system culture.
