SATURDAY NIGHT RIDDIM by FRIENDLY FIRE MUSIC – 2019
Saturday Night Overview
The Saturday Night Riddim project is a strong example of modern roots reggae, released in 2019. The recording opens with “Saturday Night (Reggae Version),” which sets a relaxed and classic reggae mood. The track’s steady drum and bass lines make it easy to feel the traditional reggae pulse. Next is “Mini Bus Man,” a collaboration between Friendly Fire Band and Tippa Irie. Tippa Irie brings his signature lively style, while the Friendly Fire Band delivers a tight, soulful backing. The song captures the everyday stories and rhythms of urban life, a common theme in reggae music. Another standout is “War Genera,” performed by Friendly Fire Band and Myki Tuff.
