Producers be real!
Some producers in the Tropical Bass genre (and outside) love to work with some real instrument sounds. They fire up a factory sound like let’s say “steel pan” and play it in a way the real steel pan would never be played - or even couldn’t be played physically. It is the freedom of the producer to shape sounds the way they want and put it in a harmonic setting and arrangement.
But - I strongly believe that if you are using a sound of a real existing instrument and also refer to it in your press info (“spirits of Trinidadian Carnival” etc etc) you have to do your homework and learn how the particular instrument sounds, how it is played and how it is tuned.
Just for the minimum respect you owe the culture and the people who share with you.
Edit: I know a dude in Trinidad who had the Gispy Kings blasting in the car for weeks just to study their guitar technique - that’s dedication.
