From the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago to Cal State Long Beach’s Carpenter Center, the power of steel pan music has come full circle.
The CSULB Steel Drum Orchestra has brought the historical island music to Long Beach since 1987. Now, the ensemble will be featured in an international documentary, titled “Panomundo,” on the impact and history of the steel drum.
“The goal of the documentary is to trace the history of the steel drum and show its reach outside of Trinidad and Tobago,” said Dave Gerhart, director of the percussion group.
