Celebration of Women and the Steelpan Art Form

“The steelpan has always been an integral part of my life. As a teenager I performed with my father’s band. As a young adult, I taught in schools, gave lessons, conducted lectures and workshops and continued to perform with my father’s band. I am able to play every pan in the steel band family and excelled on the bass and double gitta [guitar]. As I got older and began working full-time, got married and had children, I continued to play professionally, I could not imagine not playing the steelpan.”

She is an entrepreneur, administrator, educator, and performing panist. In an exclusive interview with When Steel Talks - Leigh Solomon Pugliano outlines the means to shaping a forward direction for the steelpan art form in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and providing inspiration to future supporters of Pan.
