Bradley Time
Is Panorama
Time
A Musical
Analysis of the Great One
The
late great master arranger Clive Bradley was the
world's greatest steelband music composer/arranger.
 The
upcoming Trinidad and Tobago steelband music
panorama competition will mark the second consecutive
time the event will take place without the grand presence of the
master musician. Panorama time was Bradley's
time, more so than any other time of the year.
Bradley's larger-than-life-figure and all-world
talent simply dominated every aspect and component
of the event. Win or lose, it was always about
Bradley. He was and will continue to be, the
measuring stick by which others will be judged for some
time to come.
Bradley's music and life are required listening,
viewing and studying whether you are into music or
not. In this regard
When Steel
Talks
will revisit an
analysis of one of the musical works of Clive Bradley,
by another great mind out of the Caribbean,
keyboardist extraordinaire Frankie McIntosh.
Mr. McIntosh is also one of the finest musicians ever
to emanate from the Caribbean.

resolutely hauled them into the semi-finals, and then to third place overall in
the championship round.

Junia Regrello of Skiffle Bunch
Speaks On
Trinidad & Tobago Steelband Panorama 2007
 Trinidad - This year is perhaps the one where the captain of Skiffle Bunch Steel
Orchestra, Junia Regrello, will be his busiest. In addition to his regular
commitment to and panorama preparation with Skiffle Bunch, Regrello is one of
the people playing a major and pivotal role on the national panorama scene in
2007. The panorama finals for the medium and large conventional steel
orchestras will be held at Skinner Park, San Fernando in south Trinidad, for the
first time in the competition's history, due to the demolition of the Grand
Stand in the Queen's Park Savannah, Port-of-Spain, in north Trinidad.
Historically only the small conventional orchestra and the single pan band
finals have graced the southern stage. And as San Fernando City
Corporation Alderman, Junia Regrello is one of the key people involved in
ensuring the success of this historical first.

Steelband Arranger
Amrit Samaroo
Speaks On
Trinidad & Tobago Steelband Panorama 2007
Trinidad -
 When Steel Talks spoke with young Trinbagonian arranger Amrit Samaroo, who is
arranging on the national panorama scene in the 'regular' conventional
steel orchestra category in Trinidad and Tobago for the first
time. For the Junior national
panorama, Amrit is the customary arranger for Renegades Youth Steel Orchestra,
and has taken them to winner’s row in the past; in 2006, the band was second.
For 2007, that scenario has changed, and Amrit is arranging for Lee Chong’s Pan
Glow based in South Trinidad; the orchestra is competing in the medium category. However, the outside world has already recognized and employed Amrit
Samaroo's talents
as a steelband music arranger. For the past couple of years, he worked with St.
Lucia’s Pantimes Steel Orchestra, and for 2006, they took second place honors
with a difference of just one-half of a point.

As cold as it was this Saturday, the Bates College Steel Pan

with Bob Marley or exploring Thwaites's own originals.
Among these originals was "Bates Groove," which was offered to
Bates as a new theme song. With a great second-line rhythm, the
groove lays down a catchy verse and chorus. The chorus ended with
two distinctive hits, on which one can shout, "Bates Groove!"

Trinbago Speaks
Trinidad - The Steel band
has spoken, is speaking and will always speak,

Pan doesn't need patronage, especially the kind coming
from the culture vultures on some of those call-in
programs over the electronic media.
To hear
them express their love and concern for the Steelband
around carnival time is enough to make any stranger
believe that pan is a desolate child whose mother has
died. They keep searching for a place in the
carnival to put Steelband. Give them Sunday -
Carnival Sunday that is- all to themselves. That
would be just right for them. Now tell me who
ask them to patronise PAN?

 It was introduced to the
continent by super groups like Starlift and Desperadoes among
others, many years ago on their world tours. Africa is also part
of the global steelpan explosion as it has taken hold as far south
as Botswana and South Africa and as far north as Nigeria.

Pan Trinbago:
All 16 big bands for semis
Trinidad - All 16 large
steelbands registered for the Panorama competition are
to advance to the semi-final round on February 4, Pan
Trinbago announced yesterday.
Pan Trinbago had first considered sending 14 large bands
after the preliminary judging in the panyards, but
appears to have changed its mind since only 16 large
steel orchestras are registered for the competition. In
a release, Pan Trinbago said the 16 large bands will
move on to the semi-finals, as well as 14 small and 14
medium bands.
Pan Trinbago sources said panmen had opposed the
recommendation for 14 large bands given that only 16 had
entered the competition. But the advance of the 16 bands
does not mean that they will be excluded from
preliminary judging, sources said. Judges are still to
visit the large bands panyards, which will determine
their ranking going into the semi-finals, sources told
Newsday.

Pushing pan to a higher level

Trinidad - Hardly did
the New Year begin when thousands of young
Trinbagonians began filtering into pan yards to
begin preparations for this season's Panorama
competition. It is a ritual that, like so many
cultural manifestations, we continue to take for
granted. But these players continue, year after
year, to contribute to the national festival for
little or no financial reward.
Many of the bands
themselves are hard put to fund what is a high-cost
operation, particularly those that are unsponsored,
which is why Government steps in with varying levels
of funding to motivate these exercises that require
a discipline, particularly from those age groups
and, indeed, communities where discipline is said to
be in short supply.

Sardinia, Italy
- The Caribbean Steel International Orchestra was invited

December 2006.
Olbia is situated in northeastern Sardinia and means a

underwent a real demographical boom and extensive
tourism development of the area.
 Nowadays, the city's
population is over 50,000 and extends over a surface
bigger than the city of Sassari - the capital of
province. This expansion has been achieved thanks
partially to Olbia's harbour, which has become the most
important port for passengers in Italy, and partially
because of its international airport. Olbia is not only
a destination for vacationers passing through the Costa
Smeralda (Emerald Coast); it has become a true tourist

Trinbago Speaks
Trinidad -
 The
positions being stated by certain steelband leaders about the
Panorama Finals being held in Skinner’s park in San Fernando do
not surprise me one bit. Being around the movement as long as I
have and listening to some of the leaders talk in public and in
private, I knew that steelbandsmen were still in a dogfight and
it will take us some time to rise to the occasion. What is this
occasion? Steelbands have become big business all over the
world except in T&T. Today people are leaving universities and
joining the steel pan industry, making it their career. But here
in the land of its birth we fighting year after year over a
competition that is taking us nowhere. It’s a dead end
situation.
It is time we look rationally at the real position in which we
find ourselves. How many bands really benefit from Panorama?
After six to eight weeks of sacrifice the majority of steelbands
end up down-spirited and dejected in their panyards long before
Ash Wednesday.
