It’s ‘Pan in De Countryside’ says Pan Trinbago

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - ‘Pan in De Countryside’ is the latest innovation by Pan Trinbago.  As the name suggests, it is taking steelpan to the countryside, and “to people who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to come to the city to hear bands, therefore the organization will be bringing it to them.”

The first in the series of concerts takes place on Sunday 27^th March 2011 at the Cedros Recreational Ground, Cedros, from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The featured bands include Panorama 2011 Large Band Champions Trinidad All Stars, Harmonites (pictured), La Brea Nightingales, Tornadoes, Self Help Marines and Woodbrook Playboyz.

In addition to scintillating music of the steelpans, patrons will be able to enjoy the village ambience and fare.  Prizes will be awarded to the “Best Fish Broth” as well as the person in the “Best Sunday Best” outfit.

Non-participating steelbands are asked to support the event by organizing excursions.  The next event is scheduled for Mayaro on Sunday 5^th June 2011.
