  Hello Friends and Welcome Back!      Today, we are going to cover what types of Creolization happens in the Dutch Speaking Caribbean.  In the textbook , " Tour de Force" chapter three there are a few examples of Creolization.      One example that stood out to me is the creation of string bands. What makes this a topic of creolization is that as the book states, " evolved from the ensembles that played European dance music...... Enslaved domestic workers often played in these ensembles; their participation contributed to merging of the melodies and instruments of Europe with the rhythms and playing styles of the Caribbean region." This means that string bands came from the combination of European Dance music and playing styles of the Caribbean.     Google. (n.d.). String Bands .

Hey, Carneisha again and I'm here with some more info on Creolization.      As we know from the previous post, creolization can be seen in many different aspects of culture, music, food, dance etc.      The first example of creolization we are going to explore from the textbook, " Tour de Force: A Musical Journey of the Caribbean,"   is Calypso. Trinidad and Tobago Calypso is explained in this text as an evolution of a mix of French Caribbean, European, African and probably Venezuelan music. Calypso is described as a " Vehicle for Social Protest."  71 Calypso Music Facts: Origins, Artists, Instruments And Much More . (n.d.). Kidadl .

Good day, my name is Carneisha Rolle. The focus of this blog today is Creolization with respect to Caribbean. According to the textbook “Tour de Force”, Creolization is defined as “The process of cultural exchange that results when multiple cultures come into contact and mix. The resulting cultural products are unique, combining elements of the original cultures with new and distinct ones.” This means that musical and or cultural traditions come together to form a new culture. This new culture is unique and has parts of each of its forefathers or cultures it is derived from. Features of a culture that can be Creolized include music, food, and language.  Creolization is a result of the migration of persons from one culture and place to another place within the world that has a different culture.  Derived from the textbook an example of Creolization is Tambutronic mqusic. Ro ë l Calister combined tamb ú beats with electronic dance music to create Tambutronic which is a musical...
