Coming from “pantastic” Crop Over weekend, many are still talking about some of the great performances, and reminiscing.
But one of Barbados’ most renowned pannists, David ZigE Walcott, is concerned about the lack of development within the pan community.
ZigE, who performed with his band Mosaic at Pan Pun De Sand last Sunday, told Bajan Vibes that if pan was not treated properly, it would die of natural causes.

“I think corporate Barbados should support the local steel bands a little more. I basically run Mosaic from my pocket. It’s a little hard; but if we don’t do it, Mosaic doesn’t perform. It’s a lot of sacrifice. But if we had assistance
it would be great.

ZigE, steelbands in T&T have sponsors and they more or less have the same problems is those in Barbados, to me it look like no one know what to do with the steelband.
