With its roots in the OutsHindi folk songs performed at birth caribbean folk art and wedding ceremonies, Chutney has recently emerged in contemporary Indian-Caribbean life caribbean folk art and has gone largely unrecognized in the body of scholarly literature. In this volume Tina K. Ramnarine explores the evolution of Chutney caribbean folk art and introduces the emerging Indian-Caribbean genre into the arena of scholarly discourse about music. Through analysis of the music, Ramnarine provides insights into social processes, effects of the diasporic settlements, caribbean folk art and ways the music operates as a symbol of Indian-Caribbean identity. Some of the Indian elements in Chutney are not traditional, rather they are new ideas incorporated into the construction of the Indian-Caribbean identity. This introduction of new cultural elements is a common occurrence among people who have been transplanted to an unfamiliar geographical caribbean folk art and cultural environment.
