From my experience here, I have noticed there to be four types of popular music in Barbados:
1) Pan Music
Originated in Trinidad and Tobego but now very popular in Barbados. Insturments make the type of music, that being a steel pan, which has the notes banged into it with a wooden mallet.
One better known Pan band is Mosaic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcTyevw2cY
This is a clip I took of Pan music at Brandon's Beach where Dave and I attended "Pan on the Sand"
