New York, USA - ....Couldn’t resist the urge to shake a leg as the Labor Day weekend closes in? Check. Stage sides of steel orchestras Eruption, reigning New York Panorama champions Pan Evolution and Pan In Motion all dropped scintillating sets which were not limited to, but did indeed include and showcase - sweet soca during their individual hour-long sessions.
....And to get it all in one place, showcasing the culture of the Caribbean community while whetting the appetite for pre-Labor Day activities and the day itself - complete with Carnival-style atmosphere? Check. The Ticketmaster Plaza at Barclays Center was definitely the place for anyone who wanted to experience it all—for free—at the Counterpoint: Brooklyn Steel Pan Fête on Sunday July 27 courtesy Clara Wu Tsai and the Social Justice Fund she launched in 2020. Counterpoint is part of the annual Belong Brooklyn Concert Series.
