With the wave of innovative musical concerts being streamed online, there is a new take on the annual Panorama festivals in the form of a new competition being broadcast on Instagram.
Trinidian event organiser Nevin Roach told Observer that ‘Panograma’ participants had been giving some great performances online and proved a hit with international audiences.

“As the rounds progressed, they each added a bit more to the performance. Viewers have been having a fantastic time, according to the comments, and I’m happy that PanTrinbago came on board to sponsor appearance fees of US$100 for each finalist.”
The event, which started on April 24, will see young Antiguan pannist Amarni Gomes competing in the final stage on Sunday against competitors from all over the world.
Gomes, who is on a hiatus from his studies in marketing and music at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, told Observer that he took part because he wanted to remain active in his music and it paid off.
“I am just happy to be in the finals and represent Antigua,” he said.
