The Calinda (or Kalinda) is a musical accompaniment that has become synonymous with the practice of competitive stick fighting, popularized in Trinidad and Tobago and several other Caribbean islands. It is both a martial art, a sport, a dance, and a musical form, with origins traced to the 1720s. As popularized during French rule of the island nation, Calinda is a French spelling variant. This practice is particularly popular during Carnival season, and stick fighting has been linked to civil unrest, including the Canboulay Riots in Trinidad. More specifically, the Calinda itself is the music and singing, and the term in its narrowest form has been used to refer to the three drum combination of bouller, the fouller and cutter that accompanies the dancing and stick fighting.
