[Infographic] A Quick-Step Guide to the Music and Dance of the Caribbean

The laid-back islands of the Caribbean Sea have a long and proud relationship with music and dance, with reggae, calypso and rumba rhythms defining the nations. From Bob Marley to Rihanna, some of the world’s most popular and best-selling music artists have emerged from this beautiful part of the world. And the Strictly Come Dancing line-up of dance routines would be completely different if it weren’t for the intervention of the Caribbean islands.

So, to celebrate the lasting influence that the Caribbean islands have had on the music and dance industries, we have put together a quick-step guide to the rhythms of the region. Including a short introduction to the most popular music and dance genres of the Caribbean, the guide demonstrates the unique personalities and cultures of the different islands. This eclectic mix of cultures has helped to create some of the most unique and unforgettable artists, songs and dance routines the world has ever seen.

We’ve then put together a series of interesting facts about music in the region, including the top selling artists of the Caribbean and the musical influence felt around the world.

And it’s all bundled together in an attractive infographic. Here it is, the Quick-Step Guide to the Music and Dance of the Caribbean.
