THE ORIGINS OF SPOUGE
The Spouge beat, a bouncy, rhythmic, genre of music which was founded by the Late, Great Jackie Opel and was nothing like the music produced in other Caribbean islands. The music produced by other Caribbean islands was either Calypso or Reggae. Barbados' introduction of the Spouge beat made it unique and intensely popular in Barbados and the Caribbean in the 1960's and 1970's.
I believe we as Barbadians should embrace Spouge once again and should be mindful, as Richard Stoute says in this video, that we give our Bajan artists the respect and support they deserve.
Have a great day,
Mikiemike
