The effects of colonialism have played an intrinsic part in the musical culture of the Caribbean. They are a synthesis of African, European, Indian and indigenous influences. Each island has its own complex rhythm patterns and styles.

Presented by Dr Graham Jones, The Music of the Caribbean will explore the sounds of the Caribbean, including the origins of calypso on Saint Kitts, jwé on Saint Lucia and much, much more.

Dr Graham Jones started his professional life as a musician in the British Army and over a glittering career spanning nearly forty years, retired as the Senior Director of Music, Household Division and Director of Music, Coldstream Guards, a position unequalled throughout military music in Great Britain. During his illustrious career he has recorded over 40 albums and been responsible for the largest commissioning programme of wind band music in recent history commissioning over 30 new works for wind band. He pioneered a music education programme with the University of Salford for military musicians resulting in a new Master of Music in performance degree. Graham was made a Member of the British Empire by Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace for outstanding service to military music in 1993.
