Option 2

 * Article title
 * Kaiso Music
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article focuses mostly on the Caribbean side of Kaiso music and it's transformation into Calypso. There isn't much written about its African roots, nor does it talk about it's similarities to traditional African music structure.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Highlife Music
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is the least complete of the three. It gives an introduction to the genre and some 20th century history. I am interested to look more into this because I have found a source that is attempting to tie the rhythmic structure of Jazz to West African form. This is an interesting insight because it is commonly believed that the Highlife music was brought in because of colonization, so I am interested to see where that source takes me.
