Hell’s Gate Steel Orchestra, Khan Cordice, return to Win 2011 Antigua-Barbuda National Panorama

St. John’s, Antigua & Barbuda - Antigua & Barbuda is the only country in the world where a sitting Prime Minster can be seen pulling or pushing a pan rack filled with steelpan instruments onto and off the stage during a national panorama contest. This was again the circumstance during this year’s event. This Prime Minister - The Honourable Winston Baldwin Spencer - knows Pan!

....The world-renowned Hell’s Gate Steel Orchestra took the much sought-after 2011 Antigua and Barbuda national panorama crown with their rendition of calypso great Rupert Mighty Swallow Philo’s “Satan Coming Down.” The song was arranged by the young steelpan music standout Khan Cordice.

I wonder when would that happen in Trinidad and Tobago the mecca of the steelband. You'll see them playing mass but never pushing a pan rack. Hats off to you sir.

With reference to the prime minister of Antigua & Barbuda pushing and pulling a pan rack full of pans ,,,i would only say this ,,LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE. the Prime Minister knows the value, sweetness,the unexplained feelings had while  playing the steelpan and to crown it all The History of the Steelpan a notable example given for many others?????????.
