Steelband Music (1329)
PAN TRINBAGO should call an EMERGENCY GENERAL MEETING to discuss THE BIG FLOP by our PANNISTS as they faced INTERNATIONAL JUDGES ...
BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE cannot afford to worry about the COVID CRISIS when we AS THE MECCA OF THE STEELBAND are facing an INTERNATIONAL CRISIS WITH PAN.
The WHOLE NATIONAL APPROACH to SOLOING has to be REVAMPED and brought up to INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

... but since then TRINIDAD HAS BEEN "LEFT BEHIND" (Is not me who say that, eh) ... and thanks to AINSWORTH MOHAMMED engineering THE 2020 INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY ... we should now SEE THE LIGHT and STRIVE to regain our SUPPOSITION as THE MECCA OF T
Read more…I would like to encourage RUSSELL PROVIDENCE or SALAH WILSON or bugs or some other knowledgeable PERSON in the WORLD of PAN to give a REVIEW on the INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY 2020 ...
I found only one article on the PAN PRODUCTION which was in NEWSDAY -- and that was basically a REPORT!!!
Well, I doh know nothing about PAN or MUSIC!!! But to me there were only two noteworthy performances. The first was an early round performance
Read more…I don't even think that the INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY QUARTETS topped 250 VIEWERS last night ...
... the HIGHS that I saw were around 167 on EXODUS FACEBOOK and 67 on YOUTUBE.
I can't see THE FINALS drawing more than 400 VIEWERS.
THIS IS PRETTY SAD!!!
Will there be a REALTY CHECK? I doubt it!!!
Read more…I have to say at this point that THE "INTERNATIONAL" PAN RAMAJAY COMPETITION is looking more like a STEELBAND DIASPORA COMPETITION than an INTERNATIONAL PAN RAMAJAY COMPETITION ...
... which is ultimately not SURPRISING TO ME ... but a LITTLE DEPRESSING because it shows that PAN MUSIC is still a NOVELTY to the rest of the world.
Or maybe THE EXODUS ADMINISTRATION had TOO MUCH of an INSULAR VIEW in their approach to THE PROJECT.
Read more…The background/accompanying musical tracks of the 5 new songs for the semi-final and final stages will be released on Wednesday 10th @10am AST -- so what are the SONGS?
Shouldn't the listening audience be made aware of the songs so that they could become familiar with the ORIGINALS? Especially in a RAMAJAY; and where you have listeners from ALL OVER THE WORD!!!
Ah feel ah missing something here: I STAND TO BE CORRE
Read more…THIS PAN THING is REAL KICKS, OUI!!! 8 years ago LIAM TEAGUE tell dem TRINIS that they are lacking "VOCABULARY" -- suddenly today everybody using the word "VOCABULARY" as if they just discover it ...
"They are hesitant to expand their respective musical vocabularies and, to a large extent, have become predictable."
Liam Teague 2012 WHEN STEEL TALKS
But, even so, even if you have THE VOCABULARY you still have to learn EXPRESSION!!!

I want to advise BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE to IMMEDIATELY fire THE EX-VEE PEE and THE TREASURER and the ERO on her return to her PAN TRINBAGO HEADQUARTERS in TRINIDAD ...
According to some recent reports I have gotten from TOBAGO -- there is a renegade faction on the PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE that is trying to destroy THE PRESIDENT and wrestle power away from her.
Now, I warned THE BEV many months ago that those HARD-BA
Read more…It does not take a lot for a PSYCHOLOGICALLY EDUCATED MAN like RUSSELL PROVIDENCE to tell you that once BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE has a DIME to BOAST ABOUT -- she would be OUT THERE BEATING HER CHEST ...
... ABOUT HER GREATNESS!!!

But of late she SILENT LIKE A LAMB -- a FAILED LEADER ... I would say as ONE STEELBAND takes PAN INTERNTIONAL and leaves PAN TRINBAGO and BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE looking like INEPT FOOLS!!!

It's fun to play the unique tone of Steelpan,

The sound of the place is spun smoothly with improvisation.
With the motto "Music of the heart", we play music Read more…
