Antigua & Barbuda, W.I. - The Panorama competition has been reinstated to the 2022 schedule of Carnival events after news broke on the weekend that the staple event had been axed from this summer’s line-up.

Some members of the local steelpan fraternity — including the captain of Gemonites Steel Orchestra, Joseph “Jowato” Henry — were of the view that little effort had been made by the government in attempting to stage Panorama this year, as Carnival festivities return for the first time since the COVID pandemic.

....The reigning Panorama champion is Hells Gate Steel Orchestra who won the competition in 2019 with a Khan Cordice-arrangement of Burning Flames’ ‘Fire Unda Me Foot’.
