    Interesting, however for me it is a wait and see!!! Trinidad Carnival 2022 will not be the same, Carnival is a free spirit human celebration. This 2022 Carnival will be controlled, like everything else these days. Sorry but I am not enthusiastic about having this so called 2020 Carnival celebration. I am a FREE SPIRIT and refuse to be controlled, by those pushing to have the celebration for material gain. I AM OUT. AA

Sincere condolences to the  Pan Lara, P an Evolution, Pan Masters and   Skiffle family, and the pan fraternity on the whole on the passing of  Devon Cumberbatch . Devon Cumberbatch “I would love for the instrument to be as mainstream as the piano, guitar or violin. It may have a ways to go, being a fairly young creation, but I believe pan can progress, develop and infiltrate music of all cultures. I would love to see it as an instrument for all peoples, and universally accepted. The history of the pan is just as important as the future where it can potentially end up and blossom.” -  Devon Cumberbatch    Related content:  Meet Devon Cumberbatch - Maryland ,   Details for Devon’s funeral:   Funeral Service is on February 8th at 12pm.

Twenty years of Pan in New York ain’t no joke. Many have tried but few have survived. Much more than a observance of longevity, survival, and sustainability, it was a genuine reminder of just how much of a cultural, historical and musical treasure-trove New York Pan is. And in this case D’Radoes Steel Orchestra. NY Pan is coming out of the global pandemic (with New York the epicenter) bruised, battered and wobbly - with some on life support. see more

  When Steel Talks Beyond Kissing Babies - Shaking Hands, Visiting Steel Orchestra Panyards and Broken Promises The Death March of New York Pan and Culture Pictured:  Brooklyn Navy Yard - scene of crushed steelband instruments and racks - photo courtesy Noah Smith Brooklyn, New York, USA -  ....From 2014 to present Eric Adams has served as Brooklyn’s Borough President. His fortunes have gone very well politically in that period. And unless there is an unforeseen upset Eric Adam will become the next mayor of New York City in a day or so. Conversely, the fortunes of the New York steelband community has gone south in that same time period, becoming progressively worse. Indeed, there is enough blame to go around - from sleazy and corrupt promoters of pan events; envious, inept, distrustful, and short-sighted band leaders, and, of course, traitorous politicians. Will the neglected New York steelband community finally benefit from Eric Adams if he becomes Mayor of New York
