Characterized by fast-paced, highly danceable rhythms, Chutney is a
fusion of traditional and contemporary Indian and Caribbean
influences. With its roots in the OutsHindi folk songs performed at
birth and wedding ceremonies, Chutney has recently emerged in
contemporary Indian-Caribbean life and has gone largely
unrecognized in the body of scholarly literature.
In this volume Tina K. Ramnarine explores the evolution of
Chutney and introduces the emerging Indian-Caribbean genre into the
arena of scholarly discourse about music. Through analysis of the
music, Ramnarine provides insights into social processes, effects
of the diasporic settlements, and ways the music operates as a
symbol of Indian-Caribbean identity. Some of the Indian elements in
Chutney are not traditional, rather they are new ideas incorporated
into the construction of the Indian-Caribbean identity. This
introduction of new cultural elements is a common occurrence among
people who have been transplanted to an unfamiliar geographical and
cultural environment.
