Jump Up! Caribbean Carnival Music in New York City is the first
comprehensive history of Trinidadian calypso and steelband music in
the diaspora. Carnival, transplanted from Trinidad to Harlem in the
1930s and to Brooklyn in the late 1960s, provides the cultural
context for the study. Blending oral history, archival research,
and ethnography, Jump Up! examines how members of New York's
diverse Anglophile-Caribbean communities forged transnational
identities through the self-conscious embrace and transformation of
select Carnival music styles and performances. The work fills a
significant void in our understanding of how Caribbean Carnival
music-specifically calypso, soca (soul/calypso), and
steelband-evolved in the second half of the twentieth century as it
flowed between its Island homeland and its bourgeoning New York
migrant community. Jump Up! addresses the issues of music,
migration, and identity head on, exploring the complex cycling of
musical practices and the back-and-forth movement of singers,
musicians, arrangers, producers, and cultural entrepreneurs between
New York's diasporic communities and the Caribbean.
