Cariso
（重定向自Chantwells）
Cariso is a kind of Trinidadian folk music, and an important ancestor of calypso music.
As early as the 1780s, the word cariso was used to describe a French creole song and, in Trinidad, cariso seems to have been perfected by the (mostly female) chantwells during the first half of the 19th century. The chantwells, assisted by alternating in call-and-response style with a chorus, were a central component of the practice called Calinda (stick-fighting).
