Laventille, Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - It was in 1999 that the Eastern Main Road in Success Village, Laventille, got its first taste of an Emancipation celebration.
This took the form of a steelband parade with a dozen bands being pushed along the paved roadway by revelers much to the delight of all present who were experiencing an event like this for the first time in their community.
Although having produced top steel orchestras of the past with the likes of Hi-Landers, Savoys and others, realising the instant success, the Laventille Steelband Festival Foundation (LSFF) redoubled its efforts by extending its vision.
....With no electronic music along the route, at least 30 steelbands are expected to participate. The drum will really be celebrated in all of its myriad forms—Tamboo Bamboo, Rhythm Section, Single Pan and conventional steel orchestras.
