“...the place for great steelpan music performances”
Brooklyn, New York, USA - There is no shortage of great clubs that feature live music from outstanding performing musicians in New York. And in this regard the Trendz night club is well on its way to establish itself as such. Recently WST (When Steel Talks) was reminded of that fact after we caught a performance of famed Brooklyn panist extraordinaire Iman Pascall at the Trendz lounge located on the border of East Flatbush and Canarsie.
Iman Pascall who started off as a child prodigy in the New York pan circles has developed into a complete artist. On this evening at Trendz Iman was accompanied by her personal keyboardist Khuent Rose (performing artist, educator and composer in his own right) and house musicians from Ricardo Greenaway and friends.

East Flatbush keeps pan music alive after Panorama. Here, in our corner of the world culture dissolves the barriers. Colorful chords arranged in multilingual rhythms. Movements and moods with a lil jazz, a lil calypso, a lil samba, a lil reggae a lil compa, a lil meringue. Back stories emerge from unwritten notes and are now heard. Genius! The musician as griot when steel talks through improvisations and solos. Phoebe Blake Dexter Braithwaite In East Flatbush the pan woman and pan man are sacred. They nourish our souls. There are lots of souls. The souls of Black folks.
Well done Iman. Congratulations.
