The Findarticle ref is completely dead. Circeus 01:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I've searched pretty hard for photos, and only found one of any kind that would be useful, and of course, it was not freely licensed. Tuf-Kat 05:41, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Why isn't there a 21st Century section? Has the music completely died out in the past 6 years?-- SeizureDog 04:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Nice job with this article. As you may or may not be aware much of the Caribbean music scene has found it's new more modern home in Toronto. So it's mostly Canadian sites that have the newwer Caribbean music online for sampling.
Sites like:
In terms of what's happening to Barbados music, for a long time Square One [1] and Krosfyah [2] dominated the party soca music scene but Square 1 Retired last year. Alison Hinds from that group only occationally makes music now. And all the original crew from Krosfyah have retired. Lil' Rick is the new household name when it comes to Barbados soca.
Oh and this article touches on Caribbean Jazz, here's 2 samples of that from Barbados:
In terms of Tuk Music and Spouge, both had died out in Barbados replaced by Reggae, Ragga-Soca or Party Soca. Lately some artists have been trying to bring back the Tuk sound i.e. (A Drum, Bass, a flut and a Triangle) - namely Terencia Coward "TC" comes to mind.
But none the less the Barbados music industry is going thru a shake-out right now. There's a lot of new names to the scene right now most of whom I don't yet know by name that are trying to out-do many of the artists that rose to fame in the late 80's/early 90's.
P.S. There's more Crop Over music on: http://www.toronto-lime.com/music/new_music.htm

This is a great article in terms of information and is definitely worthy of good article status but it uses way to many subheadings in my opinion. Many of the sub-headed sections could easily be combined into one section instead of the chopped up version the article presents. Though I passed it, I would recommend getting rid of many of these sections. TonyJoe 16:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC) -- Tuf-Kat 06:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
The Song section made reference to songs written for the coronation of Elizabeth I of England. This seems highly unlikely to me, since Elizabeth I was crowned in 1559 and Barbados didn't come under British control until 1627 (according to History of Barbados). I went ahead and changed the reference to Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Perhaps a native Barbadian can check that. -- Wayne Miller 23:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

How come the article doesn't include a single reference to Rihanna? BomBom ( talk) 17:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.177.233.14 ( talk) 20:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
So what? She is still from Barbados, isn't she? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.177.233.14 ( talk) 17:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
The Barbados Music Awards have been scrapped, and in its place will be something that is supposed to be regional. It is involving one of the past American Idol contestants ( Fantasia Barrino).
The song I included 'La La' (which has since been turned into a Barbadian line-dance number), is really an overt political song about Hamilton ("Hammie") Lashley and his quickness in switching political parties. Hence the lyrics, "Jump over here, party! Jump over there, party! Jump back here, party, that's the way to do the Hammie!" Source CaribDigita ( talk) 06:00, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
