Viva La Vida Overview
The making of the Viva La Vida Riddim sound system cut was a true studio collaboration. Musicians and vocalists came together under the creative direction of CHILLSPOT RECORDS, a well-known Zimbabwean label recognized for shaping the sound of modern dancehall. CHILLSPOT RECORDS, founded by Levels and DJ Fantan, has a strong reputation for producing street anthems and supporting young talent in the local scene. The production team focused on creating a bashment vibe that would work well for sound system dances. Their attention to beats and basslines set the foundation for each artist to bring their own style. The riddim’s energy is a mix of classic dancehall with new, trap-influenced touches. Boi Shona stands out with “Takato Tsitsa,” a track that quickly became a dancefloor favorite. Boi Shona’s catchy delivery and clever lyrics have helped him build a loyal following. Maggikal’s “Achinja Malevels” adds another layer, showing off his skill for energetic flows. Maggikal is known for his consistent releases and has been featured on several top dancehall compilations. Crystal Rich brings a unique voice to the riddim with “Zunza,” delivering catchy hooks that stick in the mind. Ras Caleb’s “Ndizvichekere” brings a roots-inspired flavor, blending smoothly with the bashment style. Lenny G’s “Tsika musoro” rounds out the project, adding his own signature sound.
