[kemetic-dreams]

In Jamaican dancehall music, a riddim is the instrumental accompaniment to a song and is synonymous with the rhythm section. Jamaican music genres that use the term consist of the riddim plus the voicing (vocal part) sung by the deejay. A given riddim, if popular, may be used in dozens—or even hundreds—of songs, not only in recordings but also in live performances.

Since the 1970s, riddims have accompanied reggae music and through the 1980s, more widely known as dancehall. As seen in dancehall music, there is a voicing part – sung by the DJ – over some riddim that has probably been widely used in many other songs. There is a unique establishment in the combination of riddims and voicing.

By 1993, Jamaica finally established a copyright act, but producers still face difficulty in establishing profit. Through proper registration, many artists now work on negotiating their royalties and taking it more seriously. The unique nature of dancehall and riddims have been highly influential on the numerous remixes that now circulate throughout R&B and hip-hop music.

Some classic riddims, such as "Nanny Goat" and "Real Rock" both produced by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, are essentially the accompaniment tracks of the original 1960s reggae songs with those names. Since the 1980s, however, riddims started to be originally composed by producers/beatmakers, who give the riddims original names and, typically, contract artists to voice over them. Thus, for example, "Diwali" is the name not of a song, but of a riddim created by Steven "Lenky" Marsden, subsequently used as the basis for several songs, such as Sean Paul's "Get Busy" and Bounty Killer's "Sufferer."

"Riddims are the primary musical building blocks of Jamaican popular songs.... At any given time, ten to fifteen riddims are widely used in dancehall recordings, but only two or three of these are the now ting (i.e., the latest riddims that everyone must record over if they want to get them played in the dance or on radio).... In dancehall performing, those whose timing is right on top of the rhythm are said to be riding di riddim.

The bass culture of Jamaican sonic sensibilities is characterized with less emphasis on melody and large emphasis on the drum beats and low frequency bass vibrations to draw attention to the social grounding to the culture. These aspects of Jamaican music are expressed visually through the Dancehall choreography and its African inspired folk traditions, which emphasize earthly connection through flat-footed stamping and “bumper-grinding sexually explicit choreography, where the bass note is struck by the body itself—displaying its fecundity and celebrating its fertility”. This bass culture is also embodied sonically by the music's heartbeat, the bass lines often described as riddims, produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These riddims offer a sonic foundation on top of which different other sounds are incorporated to form innumerable versions.

African in origin (see clave (rhythm) and bell pattern), riddims can generally be categorized into three types. One of the oldest types of riddim is the classical riddim providing roots reggae, dub, and lovers rock with instrumentals, such as Bam Bam, produced by Sly & Robbie. The second type is the ragga riddim backing raggamuffin and dancehall songs, such as the Juice riddim, produced by Richard "Shams" Browne. The third type is the digital riddim, such as Sleng Teng, Punaany Riddim & Duck Riddim produced by King Jammy.

A number of riddims take their name and influence from African-Jamaican religious drumming such as the Kumina riddim, created in 2002 by Sly and Robbie, and Burru.

The Noise 7 - Dj Negro - Historia y Orígenes del Reggaetón - Temp. 02, Ep. 01

Video y texto por Antonio Carlos (@thespectraltiger)

"Comentan que a mí se me acerca el final / Rumores que hay por unos que llevan y por otros que traen", con este verso clásico de Notty Boy empieza The Noise 7: Bring The Noise de 1997.

Si queremos hablar de la Historia y Orígenes del Reggaetón también tenemos qué mencionar a The Noise, uno de los colectivos más importantes en la historia del género, que se presentaban en la disco The Noise en San Juan, Puerto Rico, lugar que definiría una era, una estética y un sonido que contribuirían a hacer del Reggaetón lo que es hoy en día.

El Corillo del Ruido fue liderado por DJ Negro y a éste pertenecieron DJ Nelson, Baby Rasta y Gringo, Ivy Queen, Héctor y Tito, Notty Boy, entre otras y otros cantantes, productores y Djs. 

Bring The Noise tiene el pie en lo Underground pero también enseña el camino que el género empezó a tomar para abrirse paso en otros ámbitos que con el tiempo lo harían popular en todo el mundo.  

La portada del disco, hecha por el Wiwi Art Crew, es digna de recordar pues incluye los números del 1 al 7, para conmemorar los siete lanzamientos de estudio hasta ese momento.

El disco musicalmente va del Rap, al Dancehall, Raggamuffin, Pounder-Riddim, sonidos característicos del Underground. Cuenta con 23 canciones de artistas de Puerto Rico y Panamá, como Notty Boy, Ivy Queen, Danger Man, Keribel, Baby Rasta y Gringo, Vico C, Wiso G,OGM y Oakley, Héctor y Tito, Prieto Valdés, e incluso Kid Melaza, quien con solo doce años le tiró a La Industria y a Felo Man.

Temáticamente habla del baile, parties, fronteo, competencia, el caserío, violencia, pero sobre todo de una cultura musical cada vez más fuerte y presente entre la juventud, que ayudó a crear una identidad que ha trascendido el tiempo y fronteras geográficas.

The New Prophecy - Baby Rasta y Gringo - Historia y Orígenes del Reggaetón, Temp. 01, Ep. 05

Video y texto por Antonio Carlos (@thespectraltiger)

Viajamos en el tiempo a 1997, para escuchar The New Prophecy de Baby Rasta y Gringo, primer álbum de estudio de uno de los dúos puertorriqueños más importantes y longevos dentro del la historia del Underground, el Rap en español y el Reggaetón. 

El disco fue producido por DJ Nelson y Baby Rasta y Gringo. Al momento de lanzarlo de manera independiente, el dúo ya contaba con una trayectoria de varios años en muchas producciones Underground. Remontándonos incluso a los tiempos en que se llamaban Easy Boyz y atravesando por todas las producciones en las que habían participado hasta la fecha, incluyendo las de The Noise con Dj Negro, así como aquellas en las que colaboraron con Dj Playero, entre otras. El panorama musical de este disco es similar al de muchas otras producciones de Underground de la época, por eso encontraremos cortes que van del Pounder-Riddim y Raggamuffin al Rap; pero es, sobre todo, un disco que gravita hacia este último género, insertándolo en el contexto de las muchas tiraeras que Baby Rasta y Gringo sostenían en aquella época y que formal y musicalmente se daban en el terreno del Rap.   En The New Prophecy tenemos canciones de exponentes como Notty Boy, Bebé, Duke, Prieto Valdés, Camaleón, Cavalucci, Baby Ranks, entre otros. También tenemos los cortes inéditos de Baby Rasta y Gringo, así como la reinterpretación y medleys de temas que previamente habían lanzado. Llama la atención la ambivalencia temática de este disco, que va de la apología del malianteo, el fronteo del estilo musical y las tiraeras, como las que hay en contra de Mc Ceja y Polaco; pero también la presencia de cortes como “Guerra no Quiero Más”, en la que Baby Rasta y Gringo narran momentos cruentos que se vivían en las calles, barrios y caseríos, producto de la violencia, las drogas, el dinero, las armas y la falsedad, así como el deseo de encontrar una amistad verdadera en ese contexto precario. Lanzando así crónicas urbanas con una especie de moraleja y advertencia a aquellos que siguen el camino de la violencia en las calles.  Del mismo modo, nos encontramos con “Necesito una contestación”, tema de corte amoroso, que se inserta en una tradición que este dúo venía configurando desde años atrás y que con el tiempo se cristalizaría en el álbum Romances del Ruido, así como con el romantiqueo que se popularizó en el género. The New Prophecy guarda un lugar importante en la historia del género, ya que es uno de esos discos que da cuenta de las ambivalencias, contrastes y contradicciones al interior de un género musical que se salía de las expectativas de la supuesta respetabilidad que debía haber en la sociedad puertorriqueña. Una respetabilidad definida por sectores privilegiados, que se encontraban en ámbitos de poder social, cultural, político y económico, muy lejanos de la cotidianidad que retrataban en sus canciones artistas como Baby Rasta y Gringo.
