Caribbean music has always been interesting to me. Growing up me family always went on cruises around the Caribbean and we witnessed such great diversity of music. One of my favorite types of music is the reggae type because its just flows so nicely and the way the singers portray what they are saying through song. Caribbean music will always bring me back to the good days on vacation with no worries or stresses. The five themes really go well with the culture. The way that the people sing about diversity is so true because I always witnessed poor Jamaicans singing on the roads and they always seem to like what they are doing. The music is very spread out around the world. With such big icons such as Bob Marley, who show the world what the Caribbean music is really about.
