Caribbean music has diverse origins tracing back to the region's complex history of colonization, slavery, and migration.

Indigenous Taíno and Carib peoples had their own musical traditions prior to European colonization in the 15th century.

African slaves brought to work on Caribbean plantations carried with them rich musical heritage that profoundly shaped the region's music.

European colonizers (Spanish, British, French, Dutch) introduced their musical styles and instruments which blended with African and indigenous influences.

Slavery and the forced migration of Africans to the Caribbean led to the development of creole cultures and musical forms.

Post-emancipation period saw the emergence of new musical expressions as former slaves asserted their cultural identities.
