STEELBAND OFF TO "Kosovo"

Posted by BEDE LOPEZ on August 27, 2012 at 9:32pm in Uncategorized

Congratulations to a steelband from the Washington, DC area, C.A.I.S.O to their visit to KOSOVO in which they will entertain the American troops over the labor day weekend. They have been around since 1979, led and formed by David Zephrine from Westside Symphony and Michael George (the oneman band) from Solo Harmonites. It's a small band 4 or 5 for the most, but they have been around, congratulations again, PAN IS HERE TO STAYhttp://www.gazette.net/article/20120827/ENTERTAINMENT/708279999/1148/patriots-of-the-caribbean-embark-on-musical-mission

    Bede, this brings Protector's Calypso " A Symphony For Peace " to mind . It may very well be that the Real Remedy that will bring the World that much needed Peace lies in the Music of that MAGICAL Instrument call the STEEL PAN . Congrats to the Band and Best Wishes for a very enjoyable and successful Tour .

    I want to wish these players from Trinidad & Tobago a safe and pleasant voyage TO Kosovo,  DAVID ZEPHRINE, MICHAEL GEORGE, MICHAEL KING JR. AND ORIN RICHARDS (spread the steel pan music all over the world)

    Cheers! I hope the cultural amabassadors play tunes about peace, the humanitarian path, unity- many  races, one  people and a time to love. HIp HIp Hooray!

      Hey, Mikey Jr, I know at this moment you and your uncle David Zephrine are entertaining the troops in KOSOVO as true Ambassadors, but I want to take this time to express my condolence to you and your family on the death of your father MICHAEL (mikey) KING Sr. See you when you get back

    Kosovo needs to be put on the global pan map too.
