Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Performing in 20 major cities in 21 days. That is the hectic schedule for the upcoming tour of Japan by reigning World Steelband Music Festival and four-time National Panorama champion—Republic Bank Exodus Steel Orchestra.
“We have done this before but it is a really huge undertaking,” conceded Exodus manager Ainsworth Mohammed, referring to previous tours to Japan on which the orchestra played in as many as 35 cities doing consecutive confirmed full-length concerts at a variety of venues.
Travel inside Japan will involve movement of players and instruments over thousands of kilometres, from Osaka in the south to Sapporo in the Hokkaido prefecture (in the Sea of Okhotsk); offering access to pan music to a broad cross-section of the country’s 127 million inhabitants.
