... from my PAN PERSPECTIVE -- which I have clearly defined over a decade on THIS FORUM -- there is NO PAN TALENT in TRINIDAD with THE GLOBAL VISION to understand what THE OUTSIDE WORLD wants to hear in PAN MUSIC.
Cecil Hinkson is always challenging me TO GIVE ONE EXAMPLE (i so hate that ONE EXAMPLE CONCEPT) -- but i will give THREE to support my argument.
ANDY NARELL!!! DANO!!! MOLLEE!!!
We need to get a TRINIDAD PAN PLAYER out there achieving GLOBAL RECOGNITION PLAYING THE PAN.
So the BIG BRASS in PAN in TRINIDAD should come together and DO WHAT THEY COULD DO to REPRESENT PAN from THE ROOTS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.
Ah bet allyuh doh know that JOHN WAYNE used to wear CUSTOMIZED BOOTS to make him LOOK TALLER.
TRINIDAD needs a GLOBAL PAN STAR -- and personally, I know he CANNOT BE THE REAL DEAL because we LACK THE UNDERSTANDING (and the TALENT) in terms of what it takes to be a GLOBAL PAN STAR. The INTERNATIONAL PAN SOLOIST PAN COMPETITION proved MY POINT which I have held for DECADES before THAT REVELATION -- and argued vehemently in support of in the face of MUCH ABUSE!!!
But we got to GET A SEAT AT THE TABLE GLOBAL PAN TABLE!!!
TODAY!!!
And I don't care HOW WE DO IT!!!
KHUENT ROSE plays the ACTUAL PAN and the TRINI PLAYER does the FAKING (VIRTUAL) and we get EIGHT MILLION VIEWS on YOUTUBE and 200,000 IMPULSE DOWNLOADS -- I GOOD WITH THAT!!!
