Happy Dancehall
by Sud Sound System, MAD A ROAD
"Happy Dancehall" is the eleventh song named after the riddim produced by Morello Selecta for Yah Man Records. The group that on this occasion supports the Mad a Road production team certainly needs no introduction: Sud Sound System, a historic group of pioneers of Salento reggae, present on the scene since the times when this musical genre took its first steps and absolute protagonists of its rise throughout the peninsula. Authors of countless hits of international caliber, eclectic performers of fiery performances around the world and with numerous featuring credits with artists of the caliber of Luciano, Capleton, Antony Johnson, U Roy, and many other veterans of the global scene. A group capable of leaving an indelible mark in the history of musical culture. The emotional power of Sud Sound System is clearly felt within the song, a true descriptive celebration of this genre and of dancehall as the cradle and matrix of their mission, around the stages of the entire planet. Paladins of a land and a culture, that of Salento, equipped with a strong musical identity and an unconditional and free positive message. Don Rico, Terron Fabio, and Nandu Popu are always ready to take sides against the injustices of the system and to fight for the rights of the weak and marginalized. Distinctive traits of a style contaminated for years by the Jamaican musical tradition and reflected in it under the lens of numerous themes. Dancehall intended as a meeting place for boys, girls, teenagers, veterans of this genre, and new recruits. A serene environment, full of good vibrations, respect for others, and natural creativity, where young singers, taking the example of their idols, decide to grab a microphone and express their emotions in the form of music. This is what an artist loves to do day and night, and this is what he does to make his audience happy. This is culture. "Happy Dancehall" available on all digital platforms from February 18, 2025.
