Far West Riddim – Various Artists

FAR WEST RIDDIM produced by VARIOUS ARTISTS 2012

Hektor Banton’s “No Me Creo Na” is one of the sharper cuts on Far West Riddim, a 2012 Spanish-language reggae project that pulls its weight through the voices as much as the riddim itself. The set runs deep, with names like El Garou, Sista Usha, Carla Tapia, and Green Valley, and the sequencing keeps moving through conscious hooks, singjay turns, and a few combination tracks that break up the flow nicely. Green Valley’s “Friend” and Rapsoda y La Jose’s “Ni Patrias Ni Bandera” lean into the more rooted side of the thing, while “Rockin Da Riddim” and the closing mix cut give the compilation a little extra studio-room feel. Far West Riddim lists 22 tracks and 27 artists across the full release.
