I deleted the other thread becuase I didn't start off the way I really wanted to.
So In this thread we can post all things about the Caribbean,we can talk about travel,history,the natives whatever.
I have been to many of the islands,my last trip was to ST John.
I saw many sugar mill ruins and we even hiked to see some petroglypes.The petroglyes were made by the Carib people some 1400 years ago.
Here's a wiki if your interesred.

This is about as far as my Caribbean experience gets.
The music history on that wiki page was quite interesting. Being a muso & shit ya know? :cool:
On ST John I noticed lots of Jimmy Buffet type stuff for the white folks vistin.
Jamaica has reggae but most of the locals like American country music believe it or not.
In Dominica I discovered jing ping which I really enjoy sometimes,let me post some samples.

These are live videos that arent the best.I have some much better recordings that I got from the guy who's house we rented.
Maybe I can upload them somewhere if anyone wants it.
