    Yes it is. It was composed and arranged for Despers by Robert Greenidge. They won panorama that year.

      This is a "playlist" that consist of 16 video clips from Youtube.

      If you scroll the cursor to top left of the video, it list the number of the video that’s being played.

        I listened to the first recording and I REPEAT: The PAN is not MIXED RIGHT.

        The politics is over and DIAZ win.

        If you all want to discuss PROPERLY RECORDED PAN MUSIC ... I feel that I could give anybody a run for their money on THAT TOPIC TOO like I did with the PAN TRINIBAGO POLITICS.

        But just like you don't want to give away your CALYPSO COMPOSITION SKILLS FOR FREE (and that is a topic that I can engage in INTELLGENTLY, too) I am not going to give away my MUSIC RECORDING INSIGHTS for FREE.

        We got to keep the forum going ABOVE ALL ELSE -- which is my (and Cecil's) agenda. So I don't mind engaging on the FAILURE OF WELL RECORED PAN MUSIC.

          Your points are well taken, for me there are times I choose to dis-engage from discussions and just LISTEN to the music without carrying a critical ear. Like you have suggested to others before, just start a new discussion on that topic. I’m sure you’ll get the kind of responses you want. I know what I don’t know; I’m NOT a SOUND ENGINEER. With today’s sound reproduction systems you are able to enjoy a better video and audio sound. There’s software that can re-master audio and video.

           For example with a basic desktop computer with a HD Graphic Card and HD Sound Card and High Quality Speakers you can enhance your viewing and listening experience. I use my son PS3 as a direct  connect to the internet and integrate it with the SMART TV and other devices 5.1 Amp, including the speakers Large Front, Rear, Center with a Sub-woofer to create the surround sound effect to play YOUTUBE videos and watch movies.

            Two things.

            One is , I may not have as critical an air , but I don't quite understand Claude's comment about the mix.

            And ,the other is something I've wanted to say for a long time.

            Folks , there is a plethora of high quality steel pan and steelband music out there , available to anyone who looks for it.

            The steelband music catalog is extremely, large , filled with quality recordings going back to the Cook recordings of the 1950s , into the "Sanch" Sandiford classics of the 80s and 90s and on-wards.

            Unfortunately , we've also had  recordings that became unavailable , probably for financial reasons.

            However ,since "Music Doh Spoil" , the limited appeal of pan music worldwide has little to do the availability of quality music, and more to do with exposure of the art-form.
