Minister of Arts, Culture and Community Development Nyan Gadsby-Dolly says T&T is looking to South America as a potential market for steelpan and steelpan services.
Gadsby-Dolly said this during an interview yesterday at her Nicholas Towers office in Port-of-Spain as she distributed cheques to unsponsored steelbands.
The 180 small and conventional bands received cheques valued at $10,000 and $20,000, respectively. The total cost of sponsoring the bands is $2.9 million.
“We are also looking to spread pan to different countries. We have a lot of South American countries indicating interest and we want to be able to get into those markets because they are typically countries with the large orchestras,” Gadsby-Dolly said.
