This is what calypso music is today, a lot of the calypsonians use the soca beat. This song has another beat - hip hop - in the mix!

Calypso Music

Too Young to Soca

Steelpan

Trinidad and Tobago is famous for its steelpan music.  These gentlemen spend many sleepless night during the islands' traditional Carnival season to learn these composiitons each year.  As you will see in this video they are dressed casually but at the Finals they are all dressed in the same uniform and would look absolutely magnificant.  These perfomances are absolutely fantastic to see.  The music that they play are arranged by professional musicians on the island.

A calypso for the current year is choosen and it is arranged by their musicians for the the steelpan.  Each steelpan orchestra have their own arranger.
