Japan
- "PANPLE
plays an active part as a steelband in Kansai Region, Japan.
In the beginning, our band had only a few members. We were moved by Caribbean Magic when they came to Japan. We had no
sponsor, no funds, and not enough musical instruments for our band.
But we always had our dreams and goals. We played anywhere to
buy instruments with our performance income. We are still a
small band, but we have grown big enough to play at the Japanese
Pan Festival.
Panple
hopes to teach the steelpan to China and Korea so that a lot more Asian
people will begin to play the steelpan."
