 Global - 2013 again turned out to be a bumper year for songs for this year’s Trinidad and Tobago national steelband panorama competition. Over sixty songs were submitted to When Steel Talks by songwriters from all over. “Dat is Lie,” written for Invaders Steel Orchestra by Arddin Herbert, Ricardo Jones and Roland Yearwood has just rounded out, this phase of the ‘Pan songs’ for 2013. As each Panorama season approaches annually, It is of course always the hope of these talented writers that their composition be picked up as the tune of choice by the competing steel orchestra franchises, thereby playing a significant role in the initial leg of the Panorama championship journey.
This year’s songs, as is normally the case, cover a host of topics and social commentary which include international & local politics, sports, humor, culture and much comedy. The varied backgrounds of the writers are sometimes as magnetic and compelling, as the attractive storylines of the musical products that their tunes produce.
