RIDDIM UP CONTEST Vol #1 ( One Instrumental, Many Voices. Who Will Have the BIG TUNE?) STATUS-CLOSED

avatar
(Edited)

Greetings music lovers! Welcome to the first RIDDIM UP Contest. If you are a recording artiste in any form, this contest is for you.

Wait, what is a RIDDIM?

A Riddim is an instrumental and usually refers to a dancehall/Reggae beat, but any beat is a RIDDIM.

In Reggae/Dancehall culture a Riddim will have numerous artistes voicing their tunes on the same Riddim. Usually all the recorded tunes get released and DJs mix them back to back in what is known as juggling.

We are bringing the RIDDIM /Juggling culture to the blockchain and collaborating with tribes that have anything to do with music. We feel it is important for the communities to work together and build good will, unity and awareness in order to strengthen and build the tribes as well as the entire Steem ecosystem. Here are a list of the tribes that are involved in this contest.

Contest creator @ReggaeSteem

Sponsors
@TunesToken
@AtomCollector
@creativecoin
@sonicgroove

We thank these tribes for collaborating with us on this contest.

We plan to bring this contest outside of the blockchain in the near future in order to attract music lovers to the blockchain as having a steem account will be must to enter. Feel free to contact us in discord if you have any ideas.

This is a good question @reggaesteem for the people who are not native English speakers or might not feel confident (maybe you could clarify for volume 2)

Good point @missaj , in our minds music is universal. So we didn’t think to clarify that. But the point you made about confidence and @newenx’s comment made us realize this needs to me mentioned in future posts. All languages are welcome:)
