The Indian immigrant's influence on Jamaican culture is fairly well documented, but I don't know how much of it seeped into JA music. I imagine you can find Indian influences in some reggae/ragga, but whether that's come from within, or is just a reflection of larger outside trends I don't know. There isn't a great history of the Indo-Jamaicans being involved in JA music,
Super Cat is probably the only one I can recall off the top of my head.
The Chinese Jamaicans are a
whole other story. They have a long and illustrious history of involvement in JA music. From Leslie Kong producer and owner of Beverly's records,
Vincent and Patricia Chin, founders of VP Records, musician Byron Lee - down to Sean Paul and the UK's own Omar.
