Steelband Music (1329)
I am suggesting to the ERO of PAN TRINBAGO (Mr. Dane Gulston) that he consider producing a PAN ALBUM using today's PAN SYNTHESIZER TECHNOLOGY
Operating from the PAN TRINBAGO PLATFORM, Dane Gulston has more CULTURAL CAPITAL (Local and Global) than he could imagine. And it is just a matter of time before somebody in FOREIGN goes commercial with a project like this. Just go around the INTERNE

I think that the NEXT TIME that a GLOBAL STEELBAND gets a chance to PERFORM on a BIG STAGE -- the QUALITY OF THE MUSIC must be a MAJOR CONSIDERATION!!!
MARKETING is ONE THING!!!
But PERFORMANCE is ANOTHER THING!!!
That is why we NEED a REAL WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF PAN and not a BACKWARD ORGANIZATION like PAN TRINBAGO.
I know that we have the HUMAN RESOURCES in TRINIDAD and in EXPAT LANDS to form suc

Ah wonder if SALMON CUPID get permission from BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE to put that STEELBAND in that HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL BASKETBALL PARADE
Now, remember that PAN TRINBAGO is the WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF STEELBAND. And as PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF STEELBAND, I would expect that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE would have had to SIGN OFF on the PARTICIPATION OF THIS BAND in such an INT

Over 1000 STEELBANDS in America and the number keeps growing -- so which country is really the MECCA OF PAN
"The migration of steel pans has escalated significantly from when they were first introduced to the United States. There were only a few permanent bands by 1980 (Williams, “Steel Band” 54). There were five by 1981 (Yancey1). In 2001, a reported 650

Do you have to be like NIKI MINAJ and be SE

I think it is time for the LOCALS and the EXPATS to start working together; and I think that MARCUS ASH is the only person on THE EXECUTIVE who could bridge THAT GAP!!!
A few months ago PHELAM GODDARD did an interview on WACK and I was blown away by his honest evaluation of the PAN SCENE in TRINIDAD.
THE MECCA is at a CRISIS POINT because they do not understand what is going on in GLOBAL PAN -- they think that they

Kentish Borde: One comment ... Those who believe interest is declining as far as the young people [AND PAN] in T+T need to do a double take . I think PT is the real culprit. They are out of step with the efforts of the more than serious young people
