English term or phrase: Gulf and Western
Jimmy Buffett fell instantly in love with the island lifestyle in Key West, and his passion for the sun, the surf and the sand helped him develop his own signature style, which is referred to most often as Gulf and Western.

French translation:gulf and western
Explanation:
Je pense que je laisserais l'expression anglaise, quitte à expliciter si le texte le permet. Il s'agit d'un style propre à un artiste anglophone. L'expression semble avoir été trouvée par un critique et reposerait sur un jeu de mot entre le style Country & Western et l'ancien conglomérat américain Gulf and Western Industries. L'expression ne semble pas usitée en français.
