When Steel Talks (WST) extends Happy Birthday greetings to panist Luz Carime Santa-Coloma

Luz Carime Santa-Coloma

“I can honestly say that playing with CrossFire at the Panorama competition was the most fun I have ever had on stage... I am constantly amazed at how much fun I have every single time I stand behind a pan. There has never been a second when I wished I was doing something else. It's an instant mood booster, and in an ensemble setting, you can feel the positive energy radiating from the people around you.” - Luz Carime Santa-Coloma
