“Jah Jah Riddims,” the fifth single from the collaboration between PJ Far-West Selecta and Ras Mundele, is a laid-back reggae track built around rhythm, positivity, and the simple joy of getting lost in the groove. Voiced by singer Noya, the song invites listeners to let go of stress and dive straight into the warm pulse of classic reggae vibes.
The track carries a relaxed but energetic spirit, the kind that instantly makes you picture open-air sound systems, sunshine, and people swaying together to the beat. From the opening bars, the rhythm section sets the tone with steady bass lines and smooth guitar patterns, giving the track that unmistakable reggae bounce.

Interestingly, the song already has a history in the reggae world. It previously appeared as the title track on an album by Sista Mika, recorded alongside legendary Flabba Holt of the iconic Roots Radics. Now, the creators felt the moment was right to share the original version voiced by Noya, bringing fresh life to the track for a new audience.
The production balances authenticity with a DIY creative spirit. Ras Mundele handles lyrics and keyboards while PJ Far-West Selecta takes on multiple roles including bass, guitars, drums, and home studio production. That hands-on approach gives the track a personal feel, almost like it grew organically from late-night jam sessions.
“Jah Jah Riddims” keeps things light and celebratory. The words revolve around the irresistible pull of music, that feeling when a rhythm hits and suddenly you can’t stop moving. Lines about singing, shouting, and dancing to the beat capture the essence of reggae culture, where music becomes a shared language of joy.

The story behind the collaboration adds even more meaning to the track. After years spent playing in different bands throughout the 80s and 90s, the two musicians reconnected during the global lockdown period. What began as casual sessions during a time of isolation slowly turned into a full project fueled by nostalgia, friendship, and a shared love of reggae music. That energy carries throughout “Jah Jah Riddims.” The track doesn’t try to be overly complex or experimental. Instead, it focuses on the heart of reggae: rhythm, groove, and a vibe that makes people move.
