Historical Tidbits
In the early 1960s, the town of Couva boasted of two steel orchestras Cadenzas Steel Orchestra (Exchange Village) and Joylanders Steel Orchestra (St. Andrews Village). During that period, there was understandably keen rivalry between these two steel orchestras for the title ‘Best Band in Couva’.

In 1961, the managers of both bands decided to end the rivalry and form a merger of both. This was now a community-based band under the name Couva Joylanders Steel Orchestra.
