Spouge is a style of Barbadian popular music formed by Jackie Opel in the 1960’s. This is primarily a fusion of Jamaican ska with Trinidadian calypso, but it is also influenced by a wide variety of music from the British Isles and United States, including sea shanties, hymns and spirituals. Spouge instrumentation initially consisted of cowboy, bass guitar, trap set and different other electronic and drumming instruments, and later augmented saxophone, trombone and trumpets.

The two kinds of spouge became popular in the 1960’s as: raw spouge (Draytons Two style) and dragon spouge (cassius clay style). The spouge company grew immensely by the end of the 1970’s and produced popular stars like Blue Rhythm Combo, the Draytons Two and the Troubadours.
