Our Music
Trinidad and Tobago has a strong history of music. Calypso, a type of Trinidadian music was born as political commentary
that could be passed along because few people could read or write. Music has always been an excellent form of communication
and I think now, more than ever, we need to use it to reach the younger population. Music is well respected and appreciated
by young people; it can send positive and reinforcing messages that, if enjoyed, will be listened to repeatedly. CDs and tapes
are cheap and easy to reproduce in large quantities and easy to distribute throughout the country
