Steelpan in South Africa |
October 2, 2005 | ||||||||||||||||
|
Pretoria, South Africa - The
newly opened TT High Commission in South Africa pulled out
all the stops to showcase the fact that pan was the only
musical instrument discovered since the 20th century. The
occasion was the 43rd Independence Anniversary of the
Republic of Trinidad & Tobago held at the Sheraton Hotel, Pretoria, South
Africa.
In attendance was St. Dominic's Catholic School for Girls
Steelband - one of some two hundred steelbands from all around
South Africa.
Doing a cameo appearance was the Rainbow High
School Steelpan Ensemble who were brought all the way from
Botswana to add a true Trini flavor to the prestigious
occasion which included the who is who in the diplomatic
core.
Rainbow, led by Hollis Clifton (Trini to de Bone) used their moko jumbies (dressed in TT national colours) to form a guard of honour to welcome guests and later to do their thing to soca music. Later Karysse and André Clifton enticed guests "to limbo like them".
