Caribbean Music

Soca, calypso, steel pan, bouyon, dancehall and everything on the truck.

Carnival music is not one genre. Soca and calypso sit next to steel pan, bouyon in Dominica, dennery segment in Saint Lucia, dancehall in Jamaica and scratch and quelbe bands in the Virgin Islands. This page gathers the music side of our coverage — pan yards, trucks, stages and street sound.
