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.
We have made a start with compiling information for our listings, and encourage
readers to contribute to our fund of knowledge by sending us more information
and materials.
