GINGER BEER RIDDIM (SOCA) – KENDELL ALEXANDER 2013
Ginger Beer Overview
In 2013, the carnival jam riddim made a big impact on the soca scene. This riddim was built for sound system culture, made to shake speakers at fetes and on the island streets. The heavy bass and rolling drums gave it a strong, driving energy. It was easy to hear why DJs and sound systems loved to play it during Carnival. The riddim’s groove matched the excitement and movement of the crowds. The band leader had an important part in bringing the project together. With a clear vision, the band leader made sure each artist’s style fit perfectly over the riddim. The result was a seamless blend of talent and rhythm, giving the riddim a unique sound. The artists who voiced on the carnival jam riddim helped make it a key anthem of soca in 2013. Blaxx’s track, "Kenny," stood out with his powerful vocals and catchy delivery. Blaxx was already well known for his hit "Leh Go," which made him a favorite at Carnival time. S W Storm’s song, "Wine 4 De Xmas," brought a festive spirit and showed his skill for creating songs that get people moving. The C E O, together with Daria Primus, delivered "Ah Passin Fuh A Taste," adding another layer of energy to the riddim. Each track brought something special, but together they created a true Carnival soundtrack. The carnival jam riddim remains a favorite from the 2013 soca season, remembered for its lively sound and its big role in sound system culture.
