Carribean Reinvention
This group goes back to the very beginnings of tuned steel pan music in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad in the 1940s. This authentic Steel Drum Band is known all over the world, they’ve had an amazing career that has included opening for Liberace, performing for Queen Elizabeth, and winning the “bomb” prize at Trinidad’s national Panorama steel band competition, given for best arrangement of a European classical composition for steel band.
The Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band is a family group that plays a repertoire of music that ranges from classical to rock and roll – using oil drums. This feat has astounded audiences not only because of the unusual use of oil drums as instruments, but also because of the group’s artistic versatility in playing modern, classical, reggae and Calypso music.
