What is actually the technical difference? What I've wanted to know is how do you describe the rhythms in a classical sense. For example for reggae it would be: 4/4 time, accents on the 3rd beat in each bar, there being four beats in a bar, the rhythm guitar coming in on the 2nd and 4th.

A musician once told me dat Reggae beat is 1 . 2. Calypso is 1. 2. 3. I check wah he was saying but I eh fully agree with him. From way back in the early part of the 20th century and around de early fifties calypso central beat was 1. 2 so I holding strong dat calypso own de reggae beat still.

According to an interview with Kitch I heard sometime ago he said "reggae has a 4/4 timing while Kaiso is 2/4".

When soca first came out, I always used to be of the opinion that it was easily identified by the bass line. Dum Dum....Dum Dum....very repitious, whereas Kaiso would utilise a more traditional bass line following the chord progressions of the song.
Jes a layman's viewpoint.
