Caribbean music in Panama, once a driving force of cultural pride and identity, is slowly losing its presence in the local and global music scene. Genres like calypso, dancehall, and reggae that once thrived in Panama’s Afro-Caribbean communities are being overshadowed by other genres, and local artists struggle to break into the mainstream. The reasons for this decline include limited industry support, the growing dominance of reggaeton, and a lack of platforms for promoting authentic Caribbean music.

But who can bring Caribbean music in Panama back to the forefront? In this video, we explore the responsibility of artists, producers, and cultural organizations to revive the genre. From youth initiatives to music festivals and digital platforms, there are emerging opportunities to preserve Panama’s rich Caribbean musical heritage. It’s time for the next generation of creators and gatekeepers to introduce fresh, innovative sounds that reflect the Afro-Caribbean roots of Panama, and bring the music back to its rightful place.
