In November 2010 I had the chance to visit Trinitdad after had contact with Nestor Sullivan, manager of Pamberi Steel Orchestra. For me it was very shocking to have an experience as close to the daily life of a steel band in the panyard.
I´m introducing also a clinic called "Musica de barril" which is a performance where I share videos and pictures of my journey and I play tenor and double second pans.
My plan was to gather information and meet the Pan Culture for start spread of this phenomenon in Spain, a country where steelpans are still almost unknown.
I tried putting much of that information in my web "Musica de barril" to make it available in Spanish.

I hope that this website can help those people who sometime had the need to redirect some Latin American or Spanish friend who would like to know more about the steelpan and it´s birthland Trinidad & Tobago.
Regarding the steel pan community: un gran abrazo!!!
