Tradisi musik di karibia bisa dibilang bermulai pada akhir abad 17, saat dalam jumlah besar bangsa Afrika menjadi “komoditas” dalam sejarah perdagangan budak oleh Kerajaan Inggris, yang menempatkan mereka di kawasan West Indies. Dari sejarah ini, budaya bangsa Afrika melebur dengan budaya karibia yang melahirkan musik Calypso.
Calypso telah melahirkan banyak subgenre, termasuk musik soca, mento, benna, spouge, ska, chutney, dan extempo. Tokoh sentral dalam gaya ini adalah griot, penyanyi utama yang berfungsi sebagai orang bijak dan pendongeng. Griots hari ini sering bernyanyi dalam bahasa Inggris, mendokumentasikan kerja keras kehidupan sehari-hari dan mengadvokasi keadilan yang benar.
