Music of the Caribbean ·The music of the Caribbean is a diverse grouping of musical genres. ·They are each syntheses of African , European, Indian and native influences, created by the descendants of African slaves. ·Some of the styles to gain wide popularity outside of the Caribbean include reggae, zouk, salsa, calypso, and punta. Caribbean, Central American and South American music. Caribbean Music The Caribbean (also known as The West Indies) is made up of island states that speak English, Spanish or French. English speaking islands Spanish speaking islands French speaking islands Jamaica Cuba Haiti The Bahamas Puerto Rico Martinique Trinidad & Tobago Dominican Republic Guadeloupe Although there is a wide variety in the religions and cultures practised in each island, they share a common history. Their original inhabitants were the Arawak and Carib American-Indians. They were driven out when European settlers arrived in the late 15th Century. The Europeans set up the Slave trade. Slaves were taken to the Caribbean, and forced to work. They grew crops, which were then sold in Europe. For most of the slaves, the conditions were terrible. In 1804 these African slaves rose up and made Haiti the first free slave state in the Caribbean. It is difficult to explain what Caribbean music is. However we can hear musical influences from African and Western music. The African influence is clear from the lively, syncopated rhythms, the use of call-and-response vocal patterns, and the use of ostinatos. Western influence can be heard in the use of major and minor keys. Caribbean music styles range from traditional folk (mento, merengue) to popular styles (reggae, salsa).

It is said to be primarily a fusion of ska with calypso, but is also influenced by a wide variety of musics from the British Isles and United States, include sea shanty, hymns and spiritual percussion instruments, later augmented by saxophone, trombone and trumpet. A tuk band is a kind of Barbadian musical ensemble, which plays tuk music. They consist of a double-headed bass drum, triangle, flute and a snare drum; the traditional fiddle has most recently been replaced by the pennywhistle. The tuk band is based on the regimental bands of the British military, which played frequently during the colonial era.

Several notable calypso jazz albums include A Drum is a Woman by Duke Ellington and Calypso Jazz by Don Elliott. Steelpans (also known as steel drums or pans, and sometimes, collectively with musicians, as a steel band) is a musical instrument originating from Trinidad and Tobago. Steel pan musicians are called pannists. The pan is a chromatically pitched percussion instrument (although some toy or novelty steelpans are tuned diatonically, made from 55 gallon drums that usually store oil. In fact, drum refers to the steel drum containers from which the pans are made; the steeldrum is correctly called a steel pan or pan as it falls into the idiophone family of instruments, and is not technically regarded as a drum or membranophone . The pan is struck by a pair of straight sticks tipped with rubber; the size and type of rubber tip is unique to the class of pan being played. Some musicians use four pansticks, holding two in each hand. This skill and performance has been conclusively shown to have grown out of Trinidad and Tobago's early 20th century Carnival percussion groups known as Tamboo Bamboo. The pan is the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. Since Pythagoras calculated the formula for the musical cycle of fourths and fifths, Steel Pans are the only instruments made to follow this configuration. There are many different instruments and variations making up the family of steelband instruments.

Steelbands in Trinidad have a tradition of re-interpreting the current year's calypsos for Carnival performance; rarely will a calypso from a previous year be heard at Carnival or Panorama. Bands that perform all year round (both in Trinidad and in the so-called 'pan diaspora') have long prided themselves on being able to perform many types of music, particularly Latin and jazz numbers, film music and other popular tunes. Pan-men also have a tradition of performing classical music on pan which dates back to 1946, both in calypso tempo (known as "The Bomb") and straight (generally in concert or music festival contexts). In these contexts, accuracy and faithfulness to the original are highly prized. While many American and British audiences demand to hear Harry Belafonte songs on pan, these are generally inauthentic to the Trinidadian tradition.
