The Cayman Islands are a Caribbean island chain, currently a territory of the United Kingdom. Musically there are an array of pop singers that cater to tourists, while the natives enjoy a selection of international pop music and their own folk styles. The Cayman National Cultural Foundation, established in 1984, helps to preserve and promote Cayman folk music, including by organizing festivals like Cayman Islands International Storytelling Festival, the Cayman JazzFest and Cayfest. The fiddle is a popular folk instrument.

The official national anthem of the Cayman Islands is "God Save the Queen". The song "Beloved Isles Cayman", words and music by Leila E. Ross is an unofficial anthem ^{[#endnote_anthem]}.
