TABVARURA SPEAKER RIDDIM produced by ABRA RECORDS|CHILL SPOT RECORDZ 2014
Tabvarura Speaker Overview
When people talk about the great dancehall parties of the 2010s, many remember the selector’s mix that featured the Tabvarura Speaker Riddim. This mix stood out at parties, outshining many other selectors’ mixes from the same era. The energy in the dance was different when these tracks played, compared to other riddims that sometimes felt too repetitive or lacked unity. A big reason for the mix’s success was the lineup of artists and their songs. Abra Skimbo’s “Zvakatanga Rinhi” was a crowd favorite, with Abra Skimbo known for his unique style and catchy hooks. Donteh’s “Get Gyal” kept the party moving, showing why Donteh has been a solid name in the dancehall scene. Dragga Di Definition’s “Herbalist” brought a different flavor, while Jusa Dementor’s “Isusu” added an international touch—Jusa Dementor is known for working with big African acts and has gained attention for his cross-genre collaborations. Juwela’s “Swedera” gave the riddim a fresh voice. Other songs like Lady Poppa’s “Pamangoma,” Likkle B’s “Handitange Neprezha,” and Links & Brendon’s “Chillspot” added more color to the mix, making it a true party soundtrack. The real magic happened at the mixing board. The producer, ABRA RECORDS|CHILL SPOT RECORDZ, is known in Zimbabwe and beyond for shaping the Chillspot sound. This label has released many street anthems and helped launch new talent. Even in 2021, dancehall selectors speak highly of this mix. It remains a key memory for fans, showing how a well-crafted riddim and the right selection can define an era.
