St. George’s, Grenada, W.I. - Commancheros Steel Orchestra which copped its last title in 2018, emerged on top in Grenada’s 2022 Panorama competition with its performance of Andre Greenidge’s arrangement of 10,000 Masqueraders by “Miney” - bringing the orchestra its seventh championship. The soca piece was popularized in 2008.
The band was not the only competitor to go ‘back-in-time’ as second-placed Angel Harps Steel Orchestra, led musically by veteran champion arranger James Clarkson, reached even further back - to 1997 in fact - opting for chutney soca Chala Baiti by “Tanglar” as its tune of choice.
