Each island and nation has a unique cultural identity historically shaped by a different blend of European colonial influences, the African heritage of slaves, as well as the varied traditions of other immigrant populations and the enduring legacies of native tribes. Over time, a variety of musical genres were synthesized in the region\u2014among them Reggae, Compos, Zouk, Salsa, Calypso and Ska\u2014with many of them finding popularity outside the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Caribbean Musical Cruise<\/em> is the youngest of all the Min-On concert series. The first installment was in the summer of 2009 and showcased a variety of rich musical cultures unique to the Caribbean nations. Min-On brought the <em>Mini All Stars<\/em> from Haiti onstage in Japan for a passionate and lively performance of <em>Compas<\/em>\u2014a musical genre unique to Haiti.<\/p>\n<p>The destination of the second Caribbean Musical Cruise, in summer 2011, was Jamaica\u2014an island with a vibrant musical culture of global appeal and spanning a great variety of musical genres, from Mento and Ska to Rocksteady and of course Reggae.
