- The constructive objective of this edit to highlight the obvious atrocious nature of "modern" "civilization", the flaws of which are evident when comparing it to actual unadulterated indigenous tribes, like the surviving relatives of the actual west indian, namely arawaks and caribs or the kalinago, who live in the amazon or the himba and maasai tribes of africa, the culture of which does not exist in any form in the virgin islands, and it should be obvious that colonizers calling enslaved africans "west indians" is an arbitrary misnomer. The purpose for leaving this wikis original text is to highlight how easy misrepresentation is. The '''music of the Virgin Islands''' reflects long-standing [[West Indian]] cultural ties to the island nations to the south(so I learn in Tortola British virgins school that the spanish (Christopher Colombus) genocided the west indians as regular murderous european tendancy, so I who live in the virgin islands have no idea what is "West Indian cultural ties", especially of music as since recently it was considered that west indians were extinct, the Kalinago were indigenous of this region, what nonesense it have here on wiki), "and i was offended in school when they told me not to trust wikipedia, i hope black men in suits dont pull up to my door," the islands' African heritage and European colonial history, as well as recent North American influences.(further, the only cultural information I know of as a virgin islander is that europeans murdered and enslaved and america made a host of objectively stupid laws, empirically regress in nature, and every nation mimiced them as though it wasn't a coincedene. Indigenous man thrived for centuries in utopia as evidenced by present day none adulterated tribes but "modern" society is objectively excrement in comparison but deludes itself with the objectively false notion that its sophisticated in anyway when we have so great a cloud of witness, in point, the only cultural ties/similarity, the virgin islands have is general societal clinical retardation with the barbaric, savage, decrepit, inefficient, nonsensical, economic model of the "white man", accurately described as "perwhitetrash" as they mimic a parasite in every way but an insanely lucky one at that for none of their actions directly equationally equate to success.)Though the [[United States Virgin Islands]] and [[British Virgin Islands]] are politically separate, they maintain close cultural ties. From its neighbors, the Virgin Islands has imported various pan-Caribbean genres of music, including [[calypso music|calypso]] and [[soca music|soca]] from [[Trinidad]] and [[reggae]] from [[Jamaica]]. The major indigenous form of music is the [[Fungi (music)|scratch band]] (also called ''Fungi band'' in the British Virgin Islands), which use improvised instruments like [[gourd]]s and [[washboard (musical instrument)|washboards]] to make a kind of music called ''[[Quelbe]]''. A Virgin Island folk song called ''[[cariso]]'' is also popular, as well as St. Thomas' ''[[bamboula]]''. The [[quadrille]] is the traditional folk dance of the islands, and include varieties like [[St. Croix]]'s [[Imperial Quadrille]] and [[Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|St. Thomas]]' [[Flat German Quadrille]]. The [[Heritage Dancers]] are a respected dance troupe that perform traditional folk dances from the Virgin Islands and beyond. (BVI islander here - Further the most locally acclaimed artist of the British Virgin Islands are not listed in this wiki, and nobody listens to Iyas, the only song from him I know or have ever heard is "pyramid", where is the song, "I got my ragga drop low with ah set in the back, you see me rollin down to ball with my seat lean back, illegal tint on my glass and your gyal on my lap" that is actual tortola music, "you think anybody does listen to or study Heritage Dancers, all i know is i get to dance wid a girl in primary school cuz some crap about heritage dancing that i can't remember. Now I questioning if killa tooma from tortola cuz i can't find the damn hypest song that come out when i waz in highschool" Like really, what is this wiki?) (en)
