The diverse musics of the Caribbean form a vital part of the
identity of individual island nations and their diasporic
communities. At the same time, they witness to collective
continuities and the interrelatedness that underlies the region's
multi-layered complexity. This Companion introduces familiar and
less familiar music practices from different nations, from reggae,
calypso and salsa to tambu, meringue and soca. Its
multidisciplinary, thematic approach reveals how the music was
shaped by strategies of resistance and accommodation during the
colonial past and how it has developed in the postcolonial present.
The book encourages a comparative and syncretic approach to
studying the Caribbean, one that acknowledges its patchwork of
fragmented, dynamic, plural and fluid differences. It is an
innovative resource for scholars and students of Caribbean musical
culture, particularly those seeking a decolonising perspective on
the subject.
