MARIMBA RIDDIM (SOCA) – JUS NOW PRODUCTION 2013
Marimba Overview
The Marimba Riddim is still remembered today for its joyful, party-ready sound. Even years after its release, this fete rhythm gets played during Carnival flashbacks and soca mixes. Its bright energy and catchy melodies bring back memories of Caribbean celebrations. Looking back, the Marimba Riddim was shaped by some of soca’s most lively voices. 3canal’s “love fire” stands out with its uplifting message and strong chorus. 3canal are known for their powerful anthems and have been key figures in Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival scene for many years. Their annual J’Ouvert morning performances are famous for bringing crowds together. Denise Belfon’s “pump it up” is another highlight. Denise Belfon, sometimes called the “Soca Diva,” is known for her energetic stage presence and big hits like “Work.” Her voice on “pump it up” brings excitement and fun to the riddim. Peter Ram’s “cyah drink like we” adds a party spirit. Peter Ram, from Barbados, is famous for his 2016 Crop Over hit “Good Morning.” On this riddim, his song captures the playful competition and togetherness of Caribbean parties. Teknique’s “tun up d sound” rounds out the release, giving the riddim even more flavor and variety. The riddim itself was crafted with care by a skilled soca producer, though the main producer’s name is not always highlighted. The music’s blend of marimba and soca beats creates a sound that is both modern and true to Carnival roots. Today, the Marimba Riddim remains a favorite for anyone wanting to relive the joy of a real Caribbean fete.
