Kalinda
Kalinda is a stick-fighting dance tradition that began as early as the 1800s in Trinidadian Carnival.
Involved two fighters/dancers, each having an accompanying drummer, and a chantwell singer. The chantwell singer's main purpose was to 'trash talk' the opponent fighter/dancer.
This tradition helped to bring Carnival to the streets.
