MUNICH-BASED PRODUCER LINLEY MACK, HAS RELEASED THE COMPILATION “THE MINGA RIDDIM” FEATURING RAY DARWIN!

The Minga Riddim, an eight-song compilation album produced by Linley Mack, a Jamaican producer based in Munich, Germany, was released on January 14.

It contains songs by artistes from several countries including Jamaica, Belize and Trinidad and Tobago. Mack named the ‘riddim’ off a slang term for his adopted hometown.

Among the artistes and songs on the set are This Feeling by Ray Darwin, a Jamaican artist best known for the song, People’s Choice; See Us Now from Mesha Steele of Belize and Do You Remember by Keron Sealey of Trinidad and Tobago.

Mack personally selected the artists on Minga Riddim, “Because (I) wanted to capture an international audience.”

A Germany resident since 1995, Mack started his career as a singer. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, he went by the moniker Papa Linley.

After migrating as a teenager to New York City from Jamaica, Mack recorded a number of songs including Double Bag It and Train Robbery for Reality Records.

He settled in Munich after signing a record deal with Sony/BMG. As an artist, his biggest hit in Germany has been Let The Sunshine In.

Other acts on the Minga Riddim are Jamaicans Laury Webb (Special Girl) and Denham Smith (Put It On Me).
