Canboulay

Canboulay

Canboulay is a part of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival celebration. It arose as an alternative for slaves, who were banned from participating in Trinidad's Carnival. Canboulay has played an important role in the development of the music of Trinidad and Tobago, for it was the banning of percussion instruments in the 1880s that led to the development of steelpan music; Canboulay celebrations were also at the origin of calypso music.
