Encyclopedia > Spouge

Spouge is a musical genre from the Caribbean nation of Barbados. It is typically played with mandolin, guitar and drums, often with other, unusual instruments like the cowbell. Musicians include Cassius Clay and The Draytons Two, whose 1973 Raw Spouge album is claimed, by the band's former singer Desmond Weekes [1] (http://www.barbadosadvocate.com/NewViewNewsleft.cfm?Record=17051), to be the only pure spouge album ever produced. It topped music charts on a number of islands, include St. Kitts, St. Lucia and Dominica.
