Ba Ba Boom Riddim

Probable

A rocksteady-era Treasure Isle riddim originating with The Jamaicans' 1967 hit 'Ba Ba Boom,' produced by Duke Reid and a winner in the Jamaica Festival song tradition. Its rolling rhythm and horn arrangement became a recut favourite carried by later producers from Coxsone Dodd to Sly & Robbie.
