Happy Birthday, Dr. Jit Samaroo

Posted by Pan Times on February 24, 2010 at 5:27am in News

Global - Happy Birthday to the legendary steelband music arranger Dr. Jit Samaroo of Renegades Steel Orchestra fame. The nine-time panorama champion arranger is responsible for some of the most memorable steelband panorama music pieces of all time. Today February 24, we salute this musical giant among giants. Although quiet and reserved, Jit is the only arranger to have achieved the hat-trick with the same organization. Jit ushered in a style and approach that would become synonymous with the the sound of Renegades.
