Kaleidoscope | Migrated Rhythm: The Tambú of Curaçao by Rene V. The slaves that were shipped from Africa to the New World, to serve as workers on plantations, took their (musical) culture with them, if only in their minds. In their new homelands they recreated their secular and religious music and dance, which for them were essential forms of expression to enable them to forget their sorrows, to help create social solidarity, and to make contact with their gods. The tambú of Curaçao (Dutch Antilles) is an example of this cultural continuity. The use of percussion instruments, such as the drum and iron idiophones, antiphony, polyrhythm, the pentatonic scale, and the poly- movement of the dance, are all African in origin. The Tambú The tambú was not just a dance for the Afro-Curaçao people, as the colonial authorities, well-to-do whites, and Roman Catholic missionaries concluded.
Nor was it merely ’simple public entertainment for relaxation and amusement’, as labelled by the colonial legislator. It was a way of life. Sweet Steel - Caribbean Steel Drum Music. TRINIPOSSE.

Caribbean Music free. About the Steel Drum. The drums were developed on the Caribbean island of Trinidad during the early years of the 20th century. Old rubbish tins, car parts and stolen garbage can lids formed the first "Iron Bands", which led to the realization that a dented section of a barrel head could produce a musical tone.
Careful refinement of this amazing discovery produced the modern Steel Drum instrument and the large orchestral Steel Drum Bands, a deserved source of great national pride! Earlier on the island of Trinidad, during British Colonial rule in the late 1800's, hand drums were used as a call for neighborhood gangs to collect and 'mash up' with the other gangs. Hoping to curb the violence, the government outlawed hand drums in 1886. After the hand drums were outlawed, the Trini musicians began forming bands called Tamboo Bamboo. When two bands from rival neighborhoods met on a march, they would often stop playing and attack each other, sometimes using the bamboo instruments themselves! Caribbean Steel Pan and African Music | caribbean-guide.info. Due to the influence of the slaves and their descendants, most types of music in the Caribbean are partially influenced by the music of Africa.
Some island music shows this influence more clearly than others, but steel pan and other styles are still strongly African. The sounds brought over from Africa are strongly drum-based, with call-and-response style vocals. While these elements can also be seen in some Latin styles, Latin music also incorporated many alternate instruments, particularly strings and horns. The Caribbean musical styles that are most like those found in Africa rely heavily on the importance of drums. Steel pan music's own history emphasizes the importance of drums in African celebrations and serves to illustrate the differences between this and other Caribbean styles. Steel Pan Steel pan music, also called steel drum music, has an unusual history that is tied directly to the history of Carnival celebrations on Trinidad. Also in the 1940s the drum itself was reinvented. Jane Monheit’s new Concord Records' disk, will release Janu. Dub poetry.
Political nature[edit] Dub poetry is mostly of an overtly political and social nature, with none of the braggadocio often associated with the dancehall. The odd love-song or elegy appears, but dub poetry is predominantly concerned with politics and social justice, commonly voiced through a commentary on current events (thus sharing these elements with dancehall and "conscious" or "roots" reggae music). Notable albums[edit] Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ)'s album Dread Beat an' Blood first appeared in 1978, then Oku Onuora's Reflection In Red in 1979, followed by Benjamin Zephaniah's Rasta, and many others in the early 1980s onwards.
Although the genre was most popular in the 1980s and 1990s, many dub poets are still active today; dubstep musician Kode9 works almost exclusively with MC The Spaceape, who MCs in a dread poet style over most tracks on the Memories of the Future album.
