Success is not measured by the position you reach in life, but by the obstacles you overcome. Every setback is a setup for a comeback, and every failure is a lesson in disguise."

With its beautiful beaches, lush flora and exotic local cultures, it's no wonder the Caribbean is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Its festive music is an important part of any visit to the region. Jamaica's reggae and ska, soca and calypso from Trinidad and Barbados, Haitian compas, zouk from Martinique and Guadeloupe, Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa, merengue from the Dominican Republic, the multicultural fusions of Aruba and Curacao, and the bouncing punta of Belize are just a few of the hundreds of local music stylec that entrance visitors. Musical cousins, these styles share a common legacy of the blending of African and European traditions. The results of this shared history are wonderfully varied, and each island has developed a unique musical heritage. Behind the tranquil facade of the Caribbean basin lies an eventful and occasionally violent history which has resulted in one of the globe's most culturally rich regions. Disease and abuse at the hands of European colonizers decimated the native Arawak, Caribe and Taino Indians. For centuries, the Caribbean islands became pawns on a political chessboard as Spain, Bitain, France, the Netherlands and Portugal engaged in wars to gain control of the profitable plantations. African slaves, brought in chains to work the sugar, coffee and tobacco fields, eventually outnumbered the Europeans. It is an ironic blessing that from these seeds of suffering has grown such a musical bounty. As with the Europeans who came to the region, the Africans brounght various languages, religions, beliefs, traditions, and cultural expressions. Over time, Europeans and Africans borrowed from and imposed upon each other, eventually developing unique local cultures that reflect elements of both. During the colonial wars, islands frequently changed hands, going from Spanish control to the British then the Dutch and back again. Like a tropical punch, the different cultures blended, resulting in intoxicating musical concoctions. Jacob Edgar
