About Riddim
Argentine band that was born in February 1996 after the search for Pety (voice) aimed at delving into the sound and message of Jamaican reggae from the 70s and 80s. The meaning of the name RIDDIM is due to the rhythmic pattern formed by the bass and the battery, where the other instruments in Reggae music are added.
The band made up of 9 members, is part of the second wave of Spanish reggae in Latin America, with a 27-year career and 8 albums in its discography; and following the line of bands like Pericos, Los Cafres, La Zimbabwe and even Sumo, who were part of the first wave bringing the genre to the continent.
Over the years, the formation of Riddim it was mutating, as well as the musical searches without neglecting its essence as roots reggae, accompanied by lyrics that speak of love, struggles and social conflicts. That is why the winds, the characteristic sound of his musical work, are always accompanied by keyboards, guitars and choirs, which end up resulting in a great orchestration and melody. In his presentations you can also enjoy various genres of Jamaican music such as rocksteady, calypso or ska.
“Since our beginnings we have kept the songs, the message and the love for the people who come to see us play live. The two years of the pandemic were the worst for our career because we like to go on tour on the weekends, despite this, we maintain the number of musicians and the style. We make reggae from the roots, in the best way that comes out. And we respect the ways Jamaican artists do reggae.”says Pety, leader of the Argentine band.
