This question can really only be answered by generalizing. Recreational music is the normal pop music that is on any other Western country's radio. Though the majority of youth enjoy genres of hip-hop/rap, R&B and pop songs. There is a vast interest in reggae and island reggae (e.g. Oshen, O.N.E.T.O.X.); which is also popular with the older population.

There is also the norm of cultural music such as kundu drumming at cultural celebrations like Independence Day.
