This pretty song is a good example of Calypso Music. Let´s watch the way they play the Caribbean steel drums.

Calypso Music is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that  was originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid-20th century.

Its rhythms can be traced back to west African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 1700s.
