Well, here's one at least that isn't, Shambles; but my sister-in-law is -- does that make me black by marriage?

Most of what we call "calypso" was not Trinidadian at all, but Jamaican (anyone catch that BBC R4 programme about The banana boat song?) Steel bands apart, West Indian music has had an enormous impact on popular music here: ska, reggae and what-have-you (I stopped listening when I became a serious folkie in the early 70s). It's still going strong, both in its own right and in its influences.
