Ray Holman & Tamaki Hagihara, right


“...I organized a large event of playing pan with 100 players in Yamanashi prefecture of Japan. I am very thankful to Mr. Ray Holman, who came all the way to Japan to perform with us. His virtuosic musicality has inspired us all and I feel very lucky to have witnessed his creativity first hand.


“Throughout my career as a pan player, I have gained a “family of pan players” in Trinidad and Tobago. I would like to send them love and my appreciation for being part of my life.”

“I love pan! No PAN, No Life for Tamaki!!”

“4年前に山梨県内で、日本では珍しいスティールパンを100人で演奏するイベントを行った時に、レイホールマン氏が来日してくださったことに改めて感謝します。 そして、トリニダードにいるたくさんの”ファミリー”たちにも感謝しています。 私はスティールパンが大好きです!私にとってスティールパンのない人生は考えられません!”
