The Gorgan Overview
The Gorgan Riddim brought a fresh and energetic sound to reggae in 2010. Its lively beat and rootsy bass made it a favorite for DJs and reggae fans. The rhythm is steady but upbeat, with a classic reggae feel that works well both in dancehalls and in more relaxed settings. The riddim’s groove invites listeners to move, while still keeping a deep, soulful edge. Several respected artists made the Gorgan Riddim stand out. Cornell Campbell’s “Gorgan” is a highlight, showing why Campbell has been a key figure in reggae since the 1970s, known for hits like “Queen of the Minstrels.” Frankie Paul’s “He Came Running Back” brings his smooth vocals, reminding fans of his long career as the “Jamaican Stevie Wonder.” Horace Andy, famous for his work with Massive Attack, adds “Better Colli,” while King Tubby delivers a dub version, “Better Colli Dub,” showing his legendary mixing skills. Luciano’s “The Kingdom” brings spiritual energy, matching his reputation as one of reggae’s modern roots leaders. Cousins Records produced the project, giving it an authentic roots sound. The label, based in the UK, has released many classic reggae albums and is known for supporting both established and new reggae talent. In 2010, the Gorgan Riddim was a go-to track in cultural reggae sets, capturing the spirit of the time and keeping roots reggae alive for a new generation.
