Meet Yasmin Brito - Ontario, Canada Celebration of Women and the Steelpan Art Form Yasmin Brito “I can smile now but back then I was called every derogatory name in the book by the villagers, especially the elders. They would say “Girls should not be playing pan and especially with a band of only men.” One neighbor would always tell my mother... “Look at her long fingers, she should be playing the piano and not a pan”.” Yasmin Brito Ontario, Canada - At 12 years old Yasmin Brito was playing pan in a steelband. And while the neighbors had less than kind things to say about this - she had fun. Much fun - made history by becoming one of the first of the firsts in the annals of pan - an unwitting trailblazer with memories and experiences that have lasted a lifetime. See complete interview
Angel Harps need an arranger who understands the true essence of competition, stop the bull shit of Angel Harps being robber an it's because of pan politics why they didn't win, am saying this for a long time now that it takes ah little more than good music to win a panorama, an Clarence, mentally, spiritually, an intellectually lacks the ability to step out side of the box where he will be able to tap into his own reservoir of creative energies, I pause with this it takes much more than good music to win a panorama. When Mr Clary Ben ran UTC if for years the bottom line was negative he would have fired himself, Clarence come like Kamla Besessar she keep loosing election after election but the membership keeps holding on to her oh we love she an knowing very well under Kamla the UNC will never win another election Please I don't want to be misunderstood I have nothing personal against Clarence I happen to think that he is a class arranger, but my love is for the band Angel Harps an all is said an done, Angel Harps being in existence for more than forty years Central need an out right first place panorama victory right now.
