Barbados Builds a National Songbook | Barbados News

Barbados is turning 60 and instead of just dusting off old artifacts, they’re building a national songbook — BIM@60 — to capture the soul of their music. From calypso to hip-hop, this crowd-sourced project invites everyone to vote on the 60 songs that best define Barbadian sound, weaving together history, resistance, and culture.
