Not just the Caribbean but the whole of the Americas. The stringed instrument playing comes from the West African Sahel and parts of Central Africa (Calypso and Reggae you can defo hear those influences!) The Drum beats are from across West and West Central Africa.

yess!!!

k-tino is a freak lol and a lot of conservative cameroonians
view her and her music as a *guilty pleasure* of some sort.

she is raunchy as a lot of bikutsi female dancers are...but in a good way.

a lot of our ancestry as caribeans and aas is in west africa too and they definitely
have some influence but when it comes to dancing, central africa is it!
their dancing styles left a bigger imprint in latin america and the caribbean.

yeah in terms of music, west africa has a huge influence.

the sahelians especially the fulani deserve a LOT of credit for the roots of reggae and the blues/jazz. for sure...you definitely have a point.
