Saxophonist Roy Stewart performing with the steel band at the last year’s concertGeorgetown, Guyana, S.A. - The creators of PanJazz Concerts have announced the 2022 edition of the annual event dubbed “PanJam: The SteelBand Jamboree,” slated for today, July 24, 2022, at the Georgetown Club.
This edition is said to have an exciting twist to the already enthralling concept, and will include a fusion of Caribbean genres of music – Soca, Reggae and Chutney, featuring local artists.
Founder of PanJazz, Reon Miller said that patrons can look forward to 10 times the excitement this year, as the team would have built on the success of the previous years, to enhance the experience for 2022.
....“When I started in 2018, I was pretty young, but from feedback I received, I was doing pretty well, so I continued and the support kept growing over the years. I believe that is credited to the fact that there is no yearly steelpan event in Guyana that focuses on the steelpan experience like PanJazz would. The ones we have are mainly focused on involvement with bands and soloists competing, but PanJazz focuses on an experience for the audience. And that is the selling point, since there is a huge fanbase for steelpan music in Guyana,” Miller said.
