Nature inspires ‘Bogan Villa’ rhythm

Reggae One Drop has garnered new steam this month with the release of the 'Bogan Villa' rhythm.

Reggae recording artiste Yaadcore is the mastermind behind the project, with his 12 Yaad Record label, alongside composers Zion Productions from Costa Rica. This is the first official juggling project being released by Yaad Records, however, multiple singles have already been on tap for the label, including Yaadcore's Ready Now that was released in 2019 and is still trending with more than one million views on YouTube.

"This project was created in 2019 by Zion Records when I visited Costa Rica and then I added a few guitar lines. That was when I wrote my single on the project called When It Rains because it was raining very hard and that was my inspiration for that song," Yaadcore shared

Artistes tapped to be on the Bogan Villa project include Fred Locks, Meleku, Karbon, Yaadcore and Sizzla - acts who complemented the smooth, easy and laid back vibe of the authentic reggae project itself."Bogan Villa's name was inspired by the bougainvillea [which is] one of my favourite plants that has beauty, but is also full of macka (thorns). So it gave a balance to the songs on the project - not only girl songs, but still having that soft, smooth feel," Yaadcore added

The Bogan Villa project is considered unique because of the nostalgic reggae feel with fresh sounds from both veteran and young, up-and-coming artistes.

"If you are a true reggae lover, or in the mood for motivational sounds as well as the romantic essence of reggae, then Bogan Villa is something you should listen to and hold a meditation," Yaadcore confirmed
