Most genres we know are jus different versions of Calypso. That beat is just another calypso beat Ska is a combination of Calypso and Jazz. Mento singers imitated Calypsonians. Nerlynn Taitt from Sando, Trinidad invented Rocksteady which is combination of Mento, Ska, and Soul, the term was then changed to Reggae, so this is basically Soul Calypso. Mento and Ska was just uptempo and didnt have de versatility like in Trinidad, So he gave them dis slow version.

The influence comes from New Orleans. Trinidadian bandleaders incorporated New Orleans style jazz into calypso in the 20's and 30's whereas the Jamaican musicians who created ska were heavily influenced by New Orleans R&B of the 50's.

Nothing at all go so. Brute Force from Antigua and Barbuda was the the first steel band to record. This recording is of a percussion instrument, with no rubber on the sticks. That is not pan!!! Before you cuss meh, half me family from Trinidad. Truth is truth. Is Antiguans who first put rubber on pan sticks too.

You are not totally right or wrong :-) It's both Kaiso and Rap! Literally, it was "them" who invented not just the actual genre, but the word "as it is" (rap). The early "kaisonians" actually used both the word (rap) and the meaning of it it's actually derived from that. They gathered and rap cultural and political topics (just as today's rappers still do). Anything from advertisement for a "new milk box", "the latest dance in town", to controversial world-wide topics such as the situation in Europe at the time. If you want to know more, find out or ask. I'd gladly share what I've learned (One of Roaring Lion's son is one of the "direct sources of information" about this. Listening to his stories about the topic is "like going back in time" ;-) One love all <3

First, I understand that it was because of efforts of the political and ruling authorities that made it so little islands in the Caribbean became populated by a large number of Africans (who were destined to be slaves in this New World, only were instead set free in these places). How and why? Simple. Over time, Surveys and other Census type population data that show us how populations change over time have been conducted since before Roman times. As the 19 century unfolded, the number of African slaves in the United States had grown to very disproportionate levels, or, there were so many slaves that rulers decided that to cut back on these huge numbers by simply not letting them into America. But what to do with the ones in mid-voyage? "Park the ships out that way nearer to Barbados, St. Thomas, Martinica, etc. Then, simply set them free!" If you look in books for examples of how populations of Africans grew and shrank during the 19th century, the numbers speak for themselves. You know a song "Buffalo Soldier", and "Redemption Song"? These songs dabble in this observation. With the Africans came their songs and dances, which have strong ties to spirituality and religious elements. There is a whole lot of chaotic displacement because of the state of being cut off from home, along with many efforts to render practices of these 'old ways' as forbidden or illegal. Without fail, these practices went on, and Calypso, Mento, Blue Beat, and others are the types of music that came from out of the people of the Caribbean! I am waiting for someone to connect the Cumbia of Colombia and some of the Kalypso music styles, and demonstrate just what common connecting element might exist. Perhaps songs from the Roman Catholic Church (since they were everywhere back then and they made efforts to make converts of everyone)?? I know that a style called "Mento" seemed likely to be the child of Kalypso and parent of Ska, only I now understand that Mento is Jamaican, Kalypso is from Trinidad. I hope that I haven't really made some awful comments here, these things I've written are my poor interpretation of a lot of memories that I have collected over my life. I love Calypso, I love Mento, Blue Beat, Mento, Ska, Reggae, I love Caribbean music! If you don't love it too, I recommend you listen again, harder this time!

I'm not a music expert but Calypso has it's origins in Venezuela and Trinidad and Tabago. That Ska is the modernized (1950s) versions of Reague and Calypso. It's all a common rhythm that is present in all of the Carribean. For instance "regueton" from Latin Carribean is different from Reague but is more similar in sound to calipso. The two words share the same etymology. The words to describe sound has it's origins in West Africa. i grew up listening to Calypso from Venezuela or Calipso, the lyrics are also in "patois" that are also sung in Trinidad. Check out Calipso from El Callao. Most of the Calipso is now sung in spanish, but the Group "Convenezuela" has preserved patois lyrics

In simple terms, Ska was a progression from Jamaican Mento music. Some early Ska records used the word calypso in their titles, but truthfully Trinidad's Calypso has its own story to tell, from its golden age in the 1930s right through to today's Soca music. Trinidad was once Dutch, once French, eventually British...... Calypso music's popularity spread far and wide in the 40s and 50s, but it really didn't originate in Venezuela - correct me if I'm wrong! Once into the late 1950s, Jamaican music also seemed to make its own progression - from Mento to Ska, from Rock Steady to Reggae to Ragga etc. But yes, always a crossover effect at work. Please remember that virtually every Caribbean island has its own musical story to tell, and many genres are now almost forgotten - who thinks about Haitian Konpas music now, or Merengue music? The truth is that the thousands of African slaves brought into the Caribbean over the centuries brought their music with them - and as that music met various European cultures it ultimately created the richest melting pot of music the world has ever seen. Cuba - some of the great Cuban musicians knew that their ancestors had come from the Congo - think about the beautiful music of Cuba, think of the beautiful Soukous music of the Congo.... I'm just off to listen to some Cumbia records.....

@@legrandmaitre7112 nice write-up but you stand corrected on Trinidad's past owners. Trinidad was never a Dutch nor a French colony. Our first colonisers were Spain and we were taken over by the British in 1797. We remained British until independence in 1962. We did have a heavy influx on Francophone immigrants in the late 18th century.

Calypso in Callao came directly form Trinidad. The immigrant workers from Trinidad wen to Callao in the1930s to work in the gold mining industry. They introduced calypso to Venezuela.

I can see some influence. But herein lies the problem.. With Jamaican "mento", Calypso and American R&B in the 50's it's clear to hear Ska's early influences when you hear certain hits by Fats Domino, and others.. You hear that particular shuffle of the bass and the piano back-beats.. When early Ska took off, the beat was utilized based on American R&B of the time being played over the air from the Southern US.. Jamaican musicians took this beat with a prominent emphasis on the off beat.. It worked out so perfectly for Jamaican musicians to turn into something of their own.. Perhaps adding emphasis on the offbeat was because of songs like "Ba Boo La La".. Just my two cents, for what it's worth :)

+Jim W. Hipolito : And there is the detail! All of the above mentioned music genres/type/styles etc... Were deeply impacted and influenced by "that type of Trinidad's music". In adition, the time when they all came to be and how they came to be clearly shows the influence. Even Cuba, where i come from was somewhat influenced by this rhydim. In other words, you may say that cubans have a "special type of boxing style", but that won't anulate the history of how it got to be; or how we have nigerian culture so old that even in Nigeria is rare, that combined with several aspects can bring several theories; but when you track the roots, Shango does NOT come from Cuba! In any case, glad for any imput that can either enphasise or challenge. This is after all dedicated to culture! Raspectfully.
