Indoribbean Pop

Indoribbean Pop is a fusion genre of music, a masala of American, Caribbean and East Indian musical elements. The term is a portmanteau of the words Indo and Caribbean, not be confused with Indo-Caribbean. The term was coined by the American writer, artist, singer, and movie producer known as Coolie Mac. He was the first person of Indian origin to have a hit rap song played internationally called "Slumdog Nillionaire." Influenced by the writings of the Franco-Mauritian author Khal Torabully, Coolie Mac introduces his predecessor's neologism, "Coolitude", into song form. "Coolitude" is an intellectual framework designed to articulate the literary imaginaries of mosaic India. Coolitude in itself is an expression from the inner soul of the forgotten Coolie and his descendants only to resurrect the Voice of his Spirit and his community to reverberate the Indian Diasporic experience to the global community. In 1991, the Franco-Guadeloupean singer/songwriter Kooly Robert Jasawant developed an ode for Coolitude. Likewise, Indoribbean Pop is an acoustical framework for "Coolitude" to express itself in the soul of music in Coolie Mac's debut album called Cooliology, as well as the literature, poetics, artistry, culture, history and musicality, of the Indian Diasporic community.
