Barbadian Pop
Barbadian pop is pop music by artists from Barbados, which often mixes R&B and dance pop with Caribbean styles such as soca, dancehall and reggae.
Barbados is a small island with strong local traditions of calypso and soca, heard each year at the Crop Over festival. The label is a geographic one and does not describe a single sound. It is tied above all to Rihanna, the island's most famous musician, whose pop and R&B hits draw at times on dancehall and reggae.
