Afropan Steelband, the oldest and most successful steelband in Canada, is making history yet again this August, as the first Canadian steelband to travel to Gabon, Africa for the purpose of performing.
Gabon is one of the 18 African nations celebrating 50 years of independence in 2010, and are marking the occasion with their inaugural Carnival celebrating their vast multiculturalism. Afropan is honoured that the government of Gabon reached out to them to be part of the festivities, and is proud to represent Toronto, and Canada abroad.
The 24 players will leave on August 11th - August 18. This is Afropan's second trip abroad in as many years; in 2009 the Bermudian government invited Afropan also to help celebrate their anniversary of independence.
