TRAVELING MAN RIDDIM produced by TROBACK SOUND 2012
Traveling Man Overview
In 2012, the Traveling Man Riddim became a favorite in roots reggae sessions. This reggae rhythm project stood out with a lively and warm sound. At a time when many riddims were moving towards digital beats and dancehall styles, Traveling Man Riddim kept a classic roots feel. The music had strong bass lines and smooth harmonies, reminding listeners of reggae’s golden era. TROBACK SOUND produced and arranged the riddim. Known for their work in reviving vintage reggae sounds, TROBACK SOUND brought together talented singers and gave the project a strong identity. Their use of vocal harmonies and live instruments helped the riddim stand out from other releases in 2012. The set featured several respected artists. Black Spade delivered “Heart No Leap,” a song that matched the riddim’s easy groove. Courtney Melody, famous for his 1980s hit “Bad Boy,” returned with “Attracted To You.” Ginjah, who is known for his song “Never Lost My Way,” contributed “Free Your Mind.” Jah Fi’s “Don’t You Know” and Johnny Dollar’s “Trodition” added more depth to the set. Other artists on the riddim included Menny More with “Give It A Try,” Mykal Rose with “Live It Up,” Nando Fresh with “Satisfaction,” Pressue Buss Pipe with “One For Me,” and Price Theo with “Be Alive.” Unlike some modern riddims that focused on fast rhythms and party lyrics, Traveling Man Riddim kept reggae’s roots message alive. The arranger and producer, TROBACK SOUND, made sure each song fit together, creating a collection that still moves reggae fans today.
