Booking Caribbean Musicians

Caribbean music encompasses all the different musical styles of the islands of the West Indies. One of the best known and most popular styles of Caribbean music is Reggae, which originated in Jamaica and was made famous by Bob Marley and The Wailers. Another style of Caribbean music is Calypso, which originated in Trinidad and Tobago. Salsa is the style of Caribbean music coming out of Puerto Rico and was helped to prominence by Tito Puente. In general, Caribbean music is characterized by syncopated rhythms and features instruments like the steel drums, bongos, tom-toms, cowbells, and maracas. Caribbean musicians are frequently hired by hotels, resorts and cruise ships to surround their guests in a carefree, tropical sound. That same Caribbean island sound will have your guests saying 'Ya Mon!' when you hire one of Gigmasters caribbean bands for your corporate event, private party, fraternity dance, or beach wedding.
