Thus the Caribbean was colonized as part of the various European empires. the native culture was further eroded when the Europeans imported African slaves to work the sugar and coffee plantations on their island colonies.

The music of the Caribbean differs from island to island, but each kind has its origins in a mixture of African and European influences. .

An instrument important in Caribbean culture is the guiro. The guiro is a hollow cylinder with ridges on one side, and a stick is run up and down the ridges, creating an amplified noise inside the hollow instrument. Although the guiro is prevalent through the Caribbean, its history is murky. It may have African origins, but has been adopted by many cultures. Another instrument important in Caribbean culture are palitos or claves, which were probably influenced by Spanish and Latin American culture. Steel drums are another variety of drum that are very important in the Caribbean, and have come to represent the region in popular culture worldwide.

Often, Caribbean music has prominent roles for driving percussion instruments because it's used for dancing, and some of it features verses in a call-and-response pattern, as well as syncopated rhythms.  For example, some music is important to the festival of Carnival, which, like Mardi Gras, comes before Lent. The custom comes from Catholicism brought by French colonial rule. World War II introduced this music to American servicemen who spent time in the islands and helped spread its popularity beyond local shores.
