The Sound of the Caribbean

Steel Bands, the sounds of summer and sunshine...
There is nothing like the sound of a steel pans to evoke, sea, sand, beautiful Caribbean weather,
palm fringed beaches and the laid-back lifestyle.
Maybe you would prefer exciting tropical nights, the sounds of reggae and fun, well, add a few more instruments to the pans, turn up the volume and off you go!

What is a Steel Band?

Steel 'Pans' originally emerged in Trinidad and Tobago, based on drumming traditions from Africa and India. By the 1930's the first instruments were evolving, and by 1940 steel bands were making an appearance at Carnival.
Since then, the production of the steel pans has evolved technically so that the modern steel pan is a highly responsive and flexible intrument which demands a high degree of skill from the musician.
