New York, USA - Another weekend is upon us, but pan folks are still talking about their experience last weekend, conceptualized and brought to life by Despers USA. On a sultry Sunday evening, ‘R&R’ was not for ‘rest and relaxation.’ Rather it signified that R&B and Reggae ruled and rocked the Pan Loft of Despers USA, as the panyard of one of New York’s veteran steel orchestras is affectionately known. A great evening with a bit of humidity was the backdrop for some very good steelband music provided by four of the region’s top music organizations.
An event with a difference, it was a daring move by the younger members of Despers USA’s management team - that of having only R&B and Reggae - sans soca - reign supreme for several hours.
