		Lord Shoty initially referred to his musical hybrid as "solka", representing the true "soul of calypso."; The "Indianization" of calypso brought together the musical traditions of Trinidad and Tobago's two major ethnic groups, the descendants of African slaves and of indentured laborers from India.

	What is Chutney Music?
		Since this is a newly developing music, this project has been extremely difficult to research, and it will continue to be an ongoing topic/hobby for me within my studies of Trinidadian and West Indian music.
		This is one of the most important features of this music, in my opinion, and one that ties it to other Indian diasporic musics such as bhangra.
		The influences upon chutney are as diverse as the ethnic backgrounds of Trinidadians, and it is especially obvious in those that are closer to soca.
