Kassava Riddim produced by GusBus Records 2024
Kassava Overview
The sound of truck anthems has always been a big part of Caribbean carnival culture. In 2024, this tradition continued with the release of the Kassava Riddim, a soca project that blends classic and modern island sounds. The base of the riddim is built for the road, with rhythms that are perfect for big parade trucks and dancing crowds. GusBus Records, the label behind the project, has become known for their energetic productions. The label has worked with many soca artists and helped bring new sounds to the genre. Their releases often get strong streaming numbers, showing their influence in the soca world. The Kassava Riddim features three standout tracks, each from a well-known artist. Bunji Garlin, a Trinidadian soca star, brings high energy with his song "Trini Road." Bunji Garlin is famous for hits like "Differentology," which won the 2013 Soul Train Award for Best International Performance. Fay, also known as Fay-Ann Lyons, adds her powerful voice to "Meh Self." Fay-Ann Lyons is the only female artist to win the Carnival Road March, International Soca Monarch, and Groovy Soca Monarch titles in the same year. GusBus, the producer, steps into the spotlight with his own track, "Feeling Good," showing his talent not just as a producer but also as an artist. These songs quickly became part of the 2024 carnival soundtrack, heard on parade routes and at parties. The Kassava Riddim stands out as a fresh yet familiar sound, keeping the spirit of carnival alive.
