Taking a page from Cro Cro's Wey pan reach, Fanfare & Associates will portray Look Wey de Hell Pan Reach for J'Ouvert 2018. The band will have its launch on Republic Day (September 24) at Issa's Pub, 130 Henry Street, Port-of-Spain, from 6 pm, with music by DJs Cutting Crew and Harry of 91.1FM.
Fanfare leader Peter "Blues" Reynald told Pulse this week: "We are focussing on the situation that exists in Pan Trinbago and among our sections will be about the issues facing panmen this year. We have for instance former Pan Trinbago vice president Byron Serrette as a referee as the Whistle Blower. You can say we are having fun in mas about a very serious issue."
One cannot depict hell without devils and a section of these blue-painted denizens of hell are also expected to be also in the band.
Fanfare, which is celebrating its fifth year as a J'Ouvert band, is said to have the cheapest semi-inclusive carnival band launch. For an admission fee of just $50, patrons can expect ochro and rice with saltfish, hops and buljol, geera chicken neck, fried bake and sada roti, with drinks available at reasonable prices.
In its five-year existence, Fanfare & Associates has previously recorded two first and two second places in competition.

The fact that 2DJs, will provide the music for the launching of a band called "Look Wey de Hell Pan Reach"
says it all.
How can the focus be on "the issues facing panmen" and no steelband is hired to provide music for the launching of the band?
Yuh see wey ah comin' from?
George: Yuh like ARCHIE!!! Yuh BRUCK dem up with THAT POINT. But dem fellahs cyar see wey yuh comin' from.
Patrick Ramdoo: PAN PEOPLE cannot even set up a PAN FORUM in the MECCA. And even if the GOVERNMENT give them the money 90 percent of the money go get tief like the HEADQUARTERS ... so whey yuh expect PAN TO REACH?
On the other hand, PAN is a GLOBAL PHENOMENON that has long left the LOCAL SHORES and the ISLAND PEOPLE miles behind.
If the Government gives them money, and MONEY is the Problem, then the GOVERNMENT is the problem.
Serious lyrics from Lord Kitchener, beyond that CRO CRO myopia ...
To say that the PAN is gone through
That is IGNORANCE I'm afraid
I could tell them a thing or two
PAN is on New York HIT PARADE
Whosoever say so
I am sure they don't know
That the PAN is seen among KING and QUEEN
And on the MOVIE SCREEN
This instrument that we invent
Is now on stage on every continent
From Australia to Africa
From When Steel Talks to WIADCA
Pan sailing the SEVEN SEAS
Like a warm tropical breeze
PAN MUSIC SWEET!!! PAN MUSIC SWEET!!!!
We have the WHOLE WIDE WORLD
JUMPING UP TO THE BEAT!!! JUMPING UP TO THE BEAT!!!
