Yes, the great man will celebrate his 75th Birthday tomorrow. We will be joining with His Worship Alderman Junia Regrello at the Skiffle Pan Theatre to celebrate Bobby's Birthday. No way we can truly reward him for his outstanding contribution but he has graciously accepted our invitation and is most appreciative of the offer. I invite all the experts on the forum to offer their greetings and give us an insight on their personal perspective on the contribution of Bobby and Guinness Cavaliers!

  • Allyuh mean that NOBODY could not come on THIS FORUM and give us a LITTLE UPDATE on how the BIRTHDAY PARTY went down? In this day and global media age?

    Please, somebody!!! Give us a little report!!! Even if is the MAYOR of SANDO ... please!!!

    • The Mayor and Bobby did a taped discussion on the day - lot of insight and memories - it's on You Tube. We have given a commitment that we will honour someone from the Pan Fraternity,annually at Skiffle Pan Theatre.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended particularly the old timers from Bobby's era and last but not least,thanks to the hardest working Mayor San Fernando has seen to date,His Worship, Alderman Junia Regrello.Hope I'm not accused of being political when I say - 'Great is the Pan Movement and it shall prevail'

      Sincerely,

      Wayne Rahamut

      • Thanks for the update, Wayne!!! You seem to be an integral part of the commitment, also. WAY TO GO!!!

  • An Interview with Lennox Bobby Mohammed

  • Rawle and Courtenay: Thanks for your CONTRIBUTIONS on THIS TOPIC!!!

    BOBBY MOHAMMED is one of my THREE PAN HEROES!!!

  • Happy birthday Bobby! You brought south pan to the forefront and made us proud! Those were heady days and still have some memories although I was only a young lad of 11 and 13.

  • Ian Franklin: I REALLY APPRECIATE you coming on THIS FORUM and SINGING THE PRAISES of BOBBY MOHAMMED!!!
    • Thanks Claude Gonzales, since I am now on facebook, I seem to be neglecting WST (lol)

      Mr. Mohamed was a genius. He arranged "Carmen" in 1966, by merely listening to the recording. He said he never learned to read music. He has also composed 2 classical pieces, "Galapade" and "Revelations from beyond"

  • Yes man! Happy LXXV Mr. Lennox "Bobby" Mohamed. Would you all believe that although the National Panorama Finals were held at Skinner Park, San Fernando in 2007 & 2008, PanTrinbago did not acknowledge Mr. Mohamed who is a native of San Fernando. Mr. Mohamed and Steel Orchestra, Cavaliers is the first team to deny another arranger/band from getting a hat-trick at Panorama. He is also the youngest person to arrange a winning panorama tune at 22 years old and also the youngest to win 2 panoramas.  Mr. Lennox Mohammed arrangements placed Cavaliers 3rd at the Music Festivals of 1964, 1966 & 1967; won Panorama in 1965 &1967 and placed 2nd in 1966 & 1969. "Bobby"  has over 70 recordings of Cavaliers.

    Thank you "Bobby"
