Comment by Hameed Shaqq on July 19, 2012 at 2:50pm: I am writing you this letter in appreciation of the hard work and dedication that the people of Trinidad and Tobago have put into the development of our national instrument. I have mentioned to Mr. Lashley our former consul General in Toronto about organizing an all steelband event on August 31 2012 to commemorate our 50th year of independence by performing the National Anthem of Trinidad and Tobago as a tribute to our Cultural Heritage and our gift to the World. The Steelpan is indigenous to Trididad but expanding everywhere....All steelpan Players Must perfrom the National Anthem on August 31 20 at 12:00 PM post your Videos on facebook.

Comment by Hameed Shaqq on February 22, 2011 at 11:23am: The steel Pan must be officially declared as one of the National Emblems and our National Instrument by an ACT OF PARLIMENT by the government of T&T, anything else is only lip service. The Pan fraternity must see the true picture and act now to preserve our unique contribution to the World of Music.

I am writing you this letter in appreciation of the hard work and dedication that the people of Trinidad and Tobago have put into the development of our national instrument. I have mentioned to Mr. Lashley our High Commission in Toronto about organizing an all steelband event on August 31 2012 to commemorate our 50th year of independence by performing the National Anthem of Trinidad and Tobago as a tribute to our Cultural Heritage and our gift to the World. The Steelpan Instrument is just as symbolic to the World, as the Statue of Liberty in terms of freedom of expression. I propose this "Pan-mageddon" be held at 4:00 PM T&T time. All Steelbands should take to the streets, parks, community centers, savannahs in their districts creating the largest amount of Steelbands playing the official version of the Anthem at the same time. Its a little more than three (3) years from now, I am forwarding this message to you in your capacity to advise on making it work.
