Tuk是在巴巴多斯岛上发现的一种生活和鼓乐。虽然它与英国军队的生活和鼓音乐有许多相似之处，这可能归因于驻扎在岛上200多年的英国军队的影响，但其他影响也在图克的发展中发挥了作用，特别是非洲后裔的音乐遗产。本文的第一部分考察了突克的早期历史，并将其置于最初的表演背景中。在更近的时期，利用大多数非洲人后裔的遗产创造的国家身份有助于保存可能已经消亡的习俗和传统。虽然这些传统曾经被一些人看不起，但现在这些传统在独立后的巴巴多斯被重新定位，以服务于特定的目的，并得到更广泛（尽管不是普遍）的接受。本文的第二部分探讨了实现这种转变的方式。
Tuk is a genre of fife and drum music found on the island of Barbados. While it exhibits a number of parallels with British military fife and drum music which may be attributable to the influence of the British army that was garrisoned on the island for over two hundred years, other influences have also played a part in the development of tuk, notably the musical heritage of the African‐descended population. The first part of this paper examines the early history of tuk and places it in its original performance contexts. In more recent times, the creation of a national identity drawing on the heritage of the majority African‐descended population has helped to preserve customs and traditions that may otherwise have died out. Although once looked down upon by some sectors of the population, these traditions have now been recontextualized to serve a specific purpose in post‐Independence Barbados and are more widely (though not universally) accepted. The way in which this transformation has been achieved is explored in the second part of the paper.
