The diverse history and culture of struggle, triumph, blood, sweat and tears are all reflected in the beats and rhythms of Caribbean music.

Located in the Caribbean Sea are many islands each having its own experience of slavery and triumph, each developing it own cultural expression through music.

The Caribbean people have gifted the world with calypso, kompa, merengue, salsa, reggae and many other genres. Reggae music represents a unifying force in a world that is divided not only by likes and dislikes but by cultures and languages. One love meant so much when Bob Marley echoed these words. They resonated back then in a world filled with hate and strife and the still resonate across time to present day and they will continue to resonate into the distance future.

As the world moves forward, it is the promise the Caribbean culture continues to keep. Proving wonderful forms of entertainment and diversity through there musical expression. 'One love'
