Steelband Art of Pan Lover François Lachèze

WST Spotlight - 5-9-2009

  Bookmark and Share

 

France - Many times in the arts you come across talent and work that are so compelling that words are not needed, and language is not a barrier.  Indeed such is the case with the work of François Lachèze.

François, who is a steelpan lover and former pan player has graciously agreed to allow When Steel Talks (WST) to spotlight his work, passion and love for the steelpan artform through his images.

François told WST that he played six bass with Calypsociation steel orchestra in Paris from 2000 to 2005,  but that he is no longer a player because he found it personally challenging as he grew older to keep up with the rigors of music memorization.  François went on to say “I’m still in Calypsociation, [as] one of their artists 4 making pictures ’n visuals,” and added that he still enjoyed stints in the band’s Engine Room and being an extremely passionate lover of the band’s music, and of steelband music in general.

The steelpan images of François capture a wide range of panists universal experiences - culture and emotions - including humor, sacrifice, unity and struggle.

WST update - François Lachèze passed on Friday 1, 2013 - read more
