Calypso

Calypso is a musical style that originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 20th century. It is a type of Afro-Caribbean music that blends African rhythms and melodies with European instruments, such as the banjo, guitar, and accordion. It is heavily influenced by the folk music of the region and is characterized by its lyrical content, often humorous and satirical. Calypso is often used to tell stories and comment on current events, and it has been used to spread political and social messages. The style has also been adopted by other Caribbean nations and has had a significant influence on popular music in the region.
