Here are the songs on the riddim known as the "Bumpa Riddim". These songs were released for Barbados Crop Over Kadooment Festival 2013. As of this posting there are five artists on the riddim ; now you have the opportunity to listen to the songs and decide if this is your style of music.
I listened to the songs and immediately liked the riddim but not all the songs (because of lyrical content). I am sure you will have your favorite on the riddim so take a listen and let us know what is your favorite song. I can't ask you to let us know about your favorite and not say what I like on the riddim. I listened to the song and noted that all but one of the songs are carnival songs.... clearly written with festival overtones (bumpas, wining etc). Having said that, this is how I rank them based on my liking:
- Looking Good - Ian Webster (This one can be played anytime and it is the one song on the riddim that the lyrics are not festival oriented - my overall choice on the riddim )
- I Like Dat - Hypasounds (I really like Hypasounds flow on the riddim - best vibe on the riddim)
- Crankment Soca - Peter Ross (a veteran in the industry and he put some real energy on this track)
- Bajan Man - Tamisha Nichols (overall she sounds good but I will pass on the lyrics)
- Question Of The Year - Coopa Dan (Don't really like the lyrics on this one)
