Caribbean music production/performance is perhaps the region’s best known ‘cultural product’ and the area with the most supporting infrastructure in place. Genres range from the well known calypso, reggae, soca, zouk etc to classical, pop, military and folk music.

Caribbean rhythms reflect the cultural diversity of the people, and there is a constant mixing of traditional and modern influences in the popular musics of the region.

The Caribbean has contributed the steel pan instrument to the world, via Trinidad & Tobago.
