Well this 2020 INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY going and turn into a REAL BACCHANAL -- because the USA PLAYERS are MILES SUPERIOR to ALL OTHERS ...

... and I don't think that THE HOST COUNTRY could afford to give THE THREE FIRST PLACE PRIZES to these AMERICAN PAN PLAYERS ... that would be an embarrassment to THE MECCA OF THE STEELBAND.

But I have to be frank and say that the kind of MUSICAL EXPO

I DO NOT THINK that EXODUS should have another INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY in 2021 because it will be JUST ANOTHER EMBARRASSMENT for TT PAN PLAYERS!!! But on the other hand, with VISA as a SPONSOR ...

And they should make a G
