i just got back from antigua today, and i heard some of the dopest steel drum music. It wasn't the stereotypical jimmy buffet songs-converted to steel drum music, it was very jazzy. They were actually good, creative musicians who were actually playing for their own pleasure rather than cashing in on tourists saying, "oh i love the way they play cheesburger in paradise on those drums." I wish i talked to them and got their names or a cd. Definatley something you don't normally hear.
