STEELBAND TO BOOST TOURISM. EARN FOREX.

In an article by newsday dated April 17 2016, Prime Minister DR. Keith Rowley said Steelpan will be put to work to promote Tourism and to help earn desperately needed FOREIGN CURRENCY. He also said the uniqueness of the Steelband  has not yet been put to work for this country, with oil and gas prices not what they used to be the country will have to use everything available as a revenue earner and the steelband  Movement will be a part of that also when players go abroad and perform people will be interested and want to know where the instruments came from and this will encourage tourism and the country is in needed of foreign currency and we are going to put steelbands to work in the market places such as Europe and America.

  • PLENTY STEELBAND IN EUROPE AND AMERICA ALREADY!!! Not to mention throughout the CARIBBEAN!!!

    • ....and that is good.  Now they will learn how to play it better.

      • Barbara: Ah think yuh like PAN more that CECIL HINKSON ... and that is a high mountain to surpass!!!

  • We welcome what the PM said about his intentions, we hope that he will be able to make this happen.

  • Hopefully, the tourism department will give pannists all the training and tools they need to fully represent the instrument and country.  As a national living in the USA, it is a very embarrassing experience to hear visiting pannists speak ignorantly of their instrument and country.
