In T&T we have chutney, parang, pan, and although nobody really listens or makes it anymore cariso (the precurser to calypso, griot music in other words)

In Bim we got R&B, Reggae, a little Rock and Rap. Basicly the R's

the worst is when they have a steel band and a tassa group in the same fete and you don't know which one to go to.

In Martinique ,we listen to music from all around the globe, be it in french ,english , spanish, portuguese, african language etc etc...one question to all english speaking people : Why do u only listen to music in English ? i say so cuz here we have people who think they have to do music in english to penetrate the anglophone caribbean. I find this stupid. Why do u want to understand the lyrics of a song to appreciate it. If we did so here , few people would listen to reggae , soca , r&b, hip hop etc etc...

Agreed. But you have to understand that the most popular Genres in the World are from the US and Jamaica. As such, those languages are the ones everybody wants to hear. I like Soukous, Coupe Decale, and Bahjan (can't spell it, but its from India), but i'm teased for it often. I suppose it feels like a downgrade linguistically.

This is a song from a girl I know, and a guy too cause he is in the band.

This is some non-soca Bajan music. What do you think?
