https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutney_music
Chutney music is a fusion genre of Indian folk music, specifically Bhojpuri folk music, with local Caribbean calypso and soca music, and later on Bollywood music. This genre of music that developed in Trinidad and Tobago is popular in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, other parts of the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius, and South Africa. Chutney music emerged mid-20th century and reached a peak of popularity during the 1980s. Several sub-genres have developed.
Soca music is a genre of music defined by Lord Shorty, its inventor, as the "Soul of Calypso", which has influences of African and East Indian rhythms. It was originally spelt "sokah" by its inventor but through an error in a local newspaper when reporting on the new music it was erroneously spelt "soca"; Lord Shorty confirmed the error but chose to leave it that way to avoid confusion. It is a genre of music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 1970s and developed into a range of styles during the 1980s and after. Soca was initially developed by Lord Shorty[1] in an effort to revive traditional calypso, the popularity of which had been flagging amongst younger generations in Trinidad due to the rise in popularity of reggae from Jamaica and soul and funk from the US. Soca is an offshoot of kaiso/calypso, with influences from East Indian rhythms and hooks[citation needed].
Soca has evolved since the 1980s primarily through musicians from various Anglophone Caribbean countries, not only from its birthplace Trinidad and Tobago but also from Antigua and Barbuda, Montserrat, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Barbados, Grenada, Saint Lucia, the US and British Virgin Islands, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Guyana and Belize. There have also been significant productions from artists in Venezuela, Canada, Panama, the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan.[citation needed]

Government only began cutting money when Indo artist started asking for assistance. It shows the racist side of the government that had been funding non indo artist for decades. No artist should never be funded by tax payers monies and not even religious institutions. These artist especially kasio tents and religious institutions are what fuels racism in TT.Les Bain wrote:This reminds me of a behind the scenes story with a new band debut a long time ago.
They basically came out from a commune that was full of musicians that were hoping to make a career from music. There were existing bar bands, roaming musicians, producers, techs, all living in this commune. Some would succeed, most would not.
But they never received a cent from the government in their pursuit. Government cut subventions for institutions that need it, but yeah, lewwe give chutney money.

If your music is not popular, you get none of the above and you won't make any money. Why should tax payers money be given to you to continue making music people don't care for?? If older chutney artists feel the younger artists need mentoring and guidance, why not take on a role as their producer/ manager/ song writer to improve the quality of their music? That way they get paid once the music is popular.
Apply this logic to both chutney music and the nonsense that passes for calypso music in the calypso tents nowadays. Culture isn't something static, it changes over time. No point in trying to preserve nonsensical music. Make better music and people will listen to it.

After Chris Garcia’s “Chutney Baccanal”, we should have put a stop to it right there and then.
