Caribbean Music

Caribbean music consists of a lot of musical styles such as reggae, rock, and calypso. Nowadays, musical instruments like Steel drums and Steelpan are getting famous more and more around the world. 

There are many musical styles in Caribbean music, today, I would like to introduce focus on one point about Calypso. Calypso, which is one of the famous musical styles in Caribbean music that originated in the Caribbean islands especially in Trinidad and Tobago during the early 20th century. 

The lyric of calypso was mostly related to the island such as politics, people and situation, therefore many people were attracted by this style. In the late 1930s, Calypso became very famous musical styles and many Calypso musicians, Attila the Hun, Roaring Lion and Lord Invader were known all over the world. 

Here is a video of Roaring Lion - Ugly Woman (1934)
