Spouge is a style of Barbadian popular music created by Jackie Opel in the 1960s. It is primarily a fusion of Jamaican ska with Trinidadian calypso but is also influenced by a wide variety of musics from the British Isles and United States include sea shanties hymns and spirituals. Spouge instrumentation originally consisted of cowbell bass guitar trap set and various other electronic and percussion instruments later augmented by saxophone trombone and trumpets.
