I was born and raised in the Virgin Islands and never heard of a form of music called "mix." The wikipedia article is citing a source with incorrect information. I am 100% positive about this. Also, it's spelled "quelbe," not "quelbey."

Okay, I've removed it because the link is broken. The Garland Encyclopedia uses quelbey though, and this page uses quelbe, so I went with the Garland because it's more authoritative. Do you have any sources on the spelling? Tuf-Kat 02:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

It's definitely quelbe. Here are some authoritative sources; a google search returns many more:

• senate.gov.vi (cached)
• St. John newspaper
• VI Humanities Council
• St. Thomas newspaper
