The Trinidad Guardian
Invaders sets the stage for Versatility concert
Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Perhaps it was the $50 admission charged but the turnout at last Friday’s Pan Night, at bpTT Renegades pan theatre, on Charlotte Street, Port-of-Spain, was small. In stark contrast, the music played though was large. Hosted by Pan Trinbago as part of its Pan Month programme, pan lovers relished a varied menu of exquisite music served by Uni Stars, Supernovas, Courts Sound Specialists of Laventille, NLCB Fonclaire and Witco Desperadoes. Uni Stars of Laventille, fielding several young musicians, opened proceedings, followed by Supernovas of Lopinot.
This eastern band performed a mesmerising repertoire of music, arranged by Amrit Samaroo, son of legendary pan musician Jit Samaroo. Each selection evoked frenzied response but it was the band’s interpretation of the late Lord Blakie’s Hold de Pussy that really energised the venue.
