Kind of West Indian music (7)

I believe the answer is:

calypso

(Other definitions for calypso that I've seen before include "Caribbean dance" , "who detained Odysseus?" , "W. Indian ballad" , "ad-libbed, topical ballad" , "West Indian song with variable rhythm and improvised words" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
