Calinda
Calinda (also spelled kalinda or ''kalenda'') is a martial art, as well as kind of folk music and dance in the Caribbean which arose in the 1720s.
Calinda is the French spelling, and the Spanish equivalent is ''calenda''.
==History==
Calinda is a kind of stick-fighting commonly seen practiced during Trinidad & Tobago Carnival.〔Shane K. Bernard and Julia Girouard, "'Colinda': Mysterious Origins of a Cajun Folksong," ''Journal of Folklore Research'' 29 (January–April 1992: 37-52.〕 French planters with their slaves, free coloreds and mulattos from neighboring islands of Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Dominica migrated to the Trinidad during the Cedula of Population. Carnival had arrived with the French; slaves who could not participate formed a parallel celebration called canboulay, the precursor for Trinidad's Carnival. After Emancipation of slavery, a lead vocalist or chantwell (''chantuelle'') would sing call-and-response chants called ''lavways'' lionizing and cheering on champion stickfighters. There, Carnival songs are considered to be derived from calinda chants and "lavways". This form of music gradually evolved into the modern calypso.
Though it is more commonly practiced as a dance because of the violent outcome of stick-fighting, its roots are still that of a martial art originating from Kingdom of Kongo, and stick-fights still occur in Trinidad. They also have been formalised into annual Carnival competitions.〔''Trinidad Sweet - The People, Their Culture, Their Island'' - Bird, Adrian Curtis (1992) Inprint Publications LTD, Port of Spain, Trinidad, W.I.〕
