| Sumario: | The article explores the performance texts of Caribbean-Canadian music artists, which include Motion, nth digri, Estelle Boateng, Dwayne Morgan and D'bi Young . It investigates the relationship of performers to other established black musical forms such as reggae, dance hall, jazz, dub, calypso, and hip-hop. It argues that these musicians engage in the process of border crossing, borrowing from other black artistic forms to create and produce a syncretic and hybridized mix revealing certain affiliations and continuities in terms of broader Diasporic concerns. |
