hailonder Calypso is a genre of Afro-Caribbean music that comes primarily from the island of Trinidad (though calypso is found throughout the Caribbean). Like most genres of Caribbean music, calypso is heavily rooted in West African traditional music, and was originally used as a means of communication between slaves, as well as a form of entertainment.http://www.koollyrics.com
If you visit the Caribbean, you are likely to hear lively music. The bell-like tones of the steel drum, developed in Trinidad and Tobago, are part of the rich musical heritage of the region. Jamaica's reggae music combines African rythmes and American popular music. Cuban salsa blends African rythmes, Spanish styles and jazz.
Caribbean music can be found online at Live 365, Tune In, CRS Music, Radio Shaker, Nu Music Zone, Streema, PC Boom Radio, Shoutcast, and Caribbean-Radio.

Oh my! At least 3, and those then branch off into more.There's rocksteady.There's ska. And within ska (my fave) there's 1st wave ('60s), 2nd Wave (aka "2-tone" popular late '70s & early '80s) and a 3rd Wave that I'm not as familiar with.Don't know much about rocksteady & what distinguishes it from reggae.I'm mainly a 2-Tone ska lover.Go to: reggae

I believe that you meant to say "calypso". It is a style of Afro-Caribbean music which originated in Trinidad and Tobago. It had a groove, and percussion plays a large role in it like much African Music does.
