Abstract

While there have been a number of publications in the last few years that describe the
origins and progression of the reggae from Jamaica, much less attention has been given to
other popuiar forms of black music from the English-spealdng West Indies. A particular
omission is the nineteenth-century background to such evolutions. The primary objective
of this study is to address this lacuna and to explore dynamics of continuity and change in
these musical developments.
