An overlooked genre from the Caribbean is south Asian influenced music, sometimes referred to as Chutney music. It's predominantly from Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana.

I don't know if it's overlooked but it's one of my favorite genre. And the reason I wanted to create the thread is for that exact reason, caribbean music is extremely rich, there is a lot of styles and variations.

Got a friend who's very proud of her Trini heritage and forces me to listen to soca occasionally. I always like it but never remember the names...

So here's the one Damien Marley song I know, instead.

53 seconds in was when I went from liking the song to loving it.

My dancing style is heavily suited to aggressive beats. So, when one of those two Ding Dong songs are played at a party/festival/carnival that's my time to do a madness on the dance floor.

I wanted to start a new thread asking for Dancehall recommendations for a newbie, but it's worth resurrecting this one even though I share the Caf's objection to this sort of thing. Hopefully some people will be able to sample the richness of Caribbean music as a result. I love me some soca music but I'm not too familiar with dancehall.

Basicaly I'm hoping to put together a playlist of essential, iconic tracks that someone trying to immerse in the genre should know. My exposure so far is some Lady Saw tracks, and some dancehall playlists I've had on in the background. I'll be going through the tunes already posted in this thread but feel free to add more.
