Cayman Islands - Camana Bay Town Centre is no longer featuring steel pan music on the Paseo on Wednesday nights.
According to Camana Bay Town Centre manager Ken Hydes, there are a number of programmes at the town centre they are looking to revamp in 2012. One of these programmes is Wednesday nights’ Live on The Paseo, which included the La Pierre family steel pan music.
....“We are very grateful to Earl La Pierre for the services that he has provided to Camana Bay over the past couple of years and we look forward to working with him and other steel panners at various events at Camana Bay in the future.”
....Mr. Hydes said Camana Bay does not have a performance to fill the vacant slot.
After entertaining the community and tourists for the past four years, the La Pierre family said it was sad to hear Camana Bay is discontinuing steel pan music on the Paseo on Wednesdays.
“This is a big loss, not only to me and my family but to the community and the schools who are encouraging pan music on a professional level and the opportunity it presents to the community to hear steel pan music,” Mr. La Pierre said.
Olujimi La Pierre, 22, also was disappointed Camana Bay has decided to end the performance.
