.@MicalTeja & Coutain Celebrate “Riddim” In New Collaboration


Today (January 24), we celebrate 13 years since our first official post on this platform. Thanks to those who have been here from the start, and we look forward to doing even more. We’re also celebrating new music, this time it’s from Trini Acts Mical Teja and Coutain as they share their new collaboration called, “Riddim“.

Co-Produced by Mical Teja, Tano, and Supayouth, “Riddim” is a celebration of the music, and its many forms by Teja and Coutain. Whatever your flavour of music, it is sure to call your name wherever you are, and you have to answer it. Teja and Coutain share melodies throughout, and deliver a song that is bound to ignite something great in you. The accompanying Music Video, directed by Captain Plexx, features two characters who come from different backgrounds and stories, with them being connected by the Riddim that calls them throughout. The video highlights the Steelpan, the Tassa Druma number of Mas characters including the Jab Molassie, the Midnight Robber, the Moko Jumbie, and the Dame Lorraine, and traditional East Indian dance, all of which are a part of Trinidad’s culture, and should be preserved. This visual is for the culture, and should inspire more Artists to tap into their respective cultures. We hope that our readers/viewers tune in to this, and be inspired.
