I was wondering pt2
What are the instruments/sounds that make each Island music uniquely different.

I can usually tell you what Island a certain song is from just by listening to what's going on in the background and sometimes the artsits accent gives them away, but I was always curious to know exactly what's going on in the "background".

So whey the experts

yeah alot of peole are not able to tell VI, dominica, and st. kitts tunes apart..

VI = alot of noise
dominica = it sounds like a banjo is being played
St. kitts = plenty electric drums
