 History This Week
A brief history of the performing arts in Guyana
1956-1959 Part 1 of 2
By Lloyd Kandasammy

Guyana - The Festival, described as a national occasion included notable changes in the itinerary of cultural presentations. These included new classes of competition such as a piano class for children under 12, a family duet which featured two generations and most strikingly the inclusion of Guyanese folk music in the steel band class, to facilitate the instrumental arrangement of local compositions.

Many of the popular folksongs were often regarded as vulgar as their lyrics often referred to sexual connotations. For the purpose of this festival many of the songs were rewritten and in some cases recomposed to allow for greater clarity by Lynette Dolphin and other active members in the cultural arena in British Guiana.

For the steel bands, a test piece of 'Tanami' a Shanto song was won by 'the Texans' led by Charwin Burnham. This band introduced the song with a solo of the melody then produced the theme to harmony with varying modes of expression.'

Musician finds his rhythm: Drummer who lost dad to murder leading Head Start parade
 

Boston - Charleston Sarjeant Jr., 20, comes from a family of percussionists, and this morning thousands of Head Start children will be dancing on the Common to the lilting beat of his steel drums.

“I’m going to look back at these kids and I’m going to be saying, ‘One day they will be leading the parade,’ ” said Sarjeant, of Dorchester, who marched in the same Action for Boston Community Development Head Start parade as a 4-year-old.

A year later, when Sarjeant was just 5, his father, percussionist and Air Force veteran Charleston Sarjeant, 25, was killed by a gang of youths who stabbed and beat him to death without provocation in an Uphams Corner restaurant.

Pan Masters Does it Again!
 2007 Steelband Jamboree a Success

Maryland - The place to be this past Memorial weekend was at the annual Pan Masters Steelband Jamboree.  The show attendees were treated to high level steelband music performances by a variety of steel orchestras from across the US North east regional area.  This year was particularly special as steelbands traveled from as far as Ohio to participate in the show.

This year's performers included Pantonic Steel Orchestra (Brooklyn, NY), St. Veronica's Youth Steel Orchestra (Baltimore, MD), Positive Vibrations Youth Steel Orchestra (Hyattsville, MD), Walnut Hills High School Steelband (Cincinnati, OH), Rhythm Project All Stars (Hampton, VA), DC Pan Jammers (Washington, DC), Harbor Knights Youth Steel Orchestra (Baltimore, MD), Michael George, the One Man Band (Maryland) and Pan Masters Steel Orchestra (North Brentwood, MD).

The Maryland-based Pan Masters steel orchestra, in addition to performing at the event played host, organizer and producer to the entire affair.  The theme of this year's event was "One Love".  The performers, the audience and the organizers all embraced this year's concept.  In spite of some moments of intense rain showers the show went on without as much as a hiccup.  Moreover, the patrons remained after the rains and even more continued to enter the show's compound afterwards.  What was interesting to note was the considerable number of young children in the audience, thoroughly enraptured by the display of the performances, and the sound of steelpans.

Pan Trinbago Speaks -
Addresses It's Critics

Trinidad - Some people make it a hobby to be critical of any and everything regardless of the information. But the truth is, only members of Pan Trinbago who attend meetings, and have a sense of the history of the Steel band movement, and the many years of struggles with the powers that be, and the many internal battles waged by little men with highly inflated egos, can justifiably stand up and criticize this organization and, they know the forum through which this is done. They never run to the press trying to pull down and so damage the image of the organization. They attend meetings, seek information, make suggestions, and are critical when and where it is necessary.

Adams takes pan to Liberta
 

Antigua - An initiative to take steel pan way into the country side has started in the Liberta community, the area represented in Parliament by Culture Minister Eleston Adams.

Residents of the Liberta community are now proud owners of the Namba’s Liberta Steel Orchestra which was officially launched last Friday.

The launch took place in a special assembly at the Liberta Junior Secondary School (LJSS).

Adams, who was in attendance, told the staff and student body that while the instruments were a donation to the school, he believes that the school and the community should be able to work together to create a top of the line orchestra.

Next on list of India's exports to Trinidad - steelpan

India - New Delhi, May 26: With relations between India and Trinidad & Tobago (T&T) growing, India might just add one more item to its list of exports to the Caribbean nation in the days to come - the steelpan!

At a function held here Friday evening, Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi didn't try to mask his fascination for the musical instrument so ubiquitous throughout the Caribbean, home to a large population of persons of Indian origin (PIOs).

Even as he entered Hall Number 1 at the Taj Palace Hotel here Friday where he inaugurated the celebrations to mark the arrival of the first batch of Indians in Trinidad in 1845, a steelpan band from T&T - T & Tec Nada Sangam Steel Orchestra - started playing popular Hindi numbers drawing everybody's attention.

Turning from the path to the head table of the official banquet hosted by T&T High Commissioner to India Pundit Maniedeo Persad, the minister walked up to the spot where the band was playing.

Local steelband visits India

Trinidad - T&TEC Nada Sangana Steel Orchestra left here on Wednesday for performances in Delhi, India, to commemorate Indian Arrival Day on May 30.

The 12-member band, whose name means "unity in music", is led by Desmond George and managed by Rajendra Ramnarine.

The steelband comprises of four tenors, four quadrophonics, two double seconds and two-bass pans.

Pan-tuner Clyde Alexander will be making a six-bass and a four-bass on arrival in Delhi, as the bass-pans are deemed to be quite cumbersome for transshipment.

Grenada Pan In Danger

St. George’s - With Carnival 2007 just around the corner the Grenada Steelband Association has written to the Minister of Culture expressing their concern over approximately EC$113,000 in Carnival 2006 prize money still outstanding to the steelbands.

The Grenada Steelband Association is appealing to the Minister of Culture to ensure that the outstanding prize money is paid by 31st May 2007.

Speaking on behalf of the Steelband Association, David Seales said that it was critical that the outstanding prize monies be paid by the date indicated as many bands were depending on this payment to assist in the preparation of their orchestras for Carnival 2007. In some cases he said, some bands were still in a position where they could not cover all their Carnival 2006 debts due to the non receipt of their prize monies. This he said was also an embarrassing situation which has had a very negative effect on the affected bands’ credit worthiness and their reputations. To avoid this situation repeating, he said that the Steelband Association will seek to have a written contract in place with regards to our participation in Carnival 2007 activities.

School’s steel band strikes chord with kids

Arizona - If life gives you a steel trash barrel — make music. That’s just one of the lessons teacher Luke Abrahamson hopes to instill in 120 students who take part in Basha High School’s steel band — along with a love of music and an appreciation for Caribbean culture.

During colonial rule of Trinidad, the British banned the musical instruments of Trinidadians.

“The colonialists took away the music that they loved. So they used the pieces of metal scrap laying on the streets to make their music.... I think it’s a great lesson for the kids,” he said.

Basha is the only school in the Chandler Unified School District to offer a steel band elective. Throughout the Valley just a few other schools offer one, including Corona del Sol High School in Tempe.

When Basha’s steel band started a little over two years ago, it had just 10 students.

This year, 120 students are involved in six classes, and Abrahamson now devotes his entire job to the band.

Steel drum band gets into Caribbean mood
Florida —  Who knew that a bunch of kids banging on stuff could sound so good?

When members of the Teen Time Unlimited Steel Band start playing their steel drums, it's enough to transport you from a cramped room behind the Fort Pierce Haitian United Methodist Church on Orange Avenue to a sugar-sand Caribbean beach, the trade winds gently wafting through the coconut palms.

Pan legend turns 80
 

Trinidad - Neville Jules turns 80 tomorrow. At the Duke Street panyard, even the young players call him Cap. They see him around Hell Yard, a shrine to pan, but can't fully fathom his weight. Founder of Trinidad All Stars, Jules led the band and arranged its music for 25 years or so. In either capacity, Cap wasn't easy. If he were alive, badjohn Big Sarge would tell you he owed his failed confrontations with his nemesisto band discipline. And Invaders, the Harps of  Woodbrook, can testify, though begrudgingly, to his groovy road music. As sweet as a lickin'.

Abstract Entertainment puts Steelpan Instrument on the 
World Stage
During Caribbean Heritage & Black Music Month

New York - The month of June (which, ironically is traditionally Black Music Month), has additionally and officially been designated Caribbean Heritage Month by US president George W. Bush.  The contributions and impact that people of Caribbean descent are having on the US landscape is substantial.  This June, Mr. Ralph Ramsey of Abstract Entertainment, Inc. (AEI) will again produce a world-class event (Steelpan Jazz concert at Lincoln Center) that highlights the genius and artistic contributions of Caribbean people.

The Steelpan Jazz concert at Lincoln Center has grown much in stature and popularity as it has become the most prestigious event of its kind in the US.  The steelpan instrument - once considered simply an exotic tourist novelty, has now taken the world by storm.

Hailed as the "Oscar of the Steelpan Music Movement", this year's 2007 Abstract Entertainment Life Time Achievement Award will be presented to Mr. Neville Jules for his creative contributions of outstanding music, and his inventive significance to the development of the steelband music and movement.  AEI requests the presence of all steelpan enthusiasts at the honoring of this giant icon at this year's event.

 Chill with a taste of Caribbean

Boston - Get away by staying home this summer: The Caribbean is coming to Boston.

June is Caribbean American Heritage Month, and on June 3, a unique fusion of calypso, reggae, Afro-Cuban rhythms, soca and jazz music will be performed in a public concert at Wheelock College’s Family Theatre.

“It allows us to show our kids our heritage. It allows us to showcase our diverse heritage with people not from the Caribbean,” said Justin Petty, a musical director for the event who taught several children how to play the steel drum.

Adding to this ethnic montage will be a stimulating display of Caribbean artwork, poetry and writings, as well as dance performances and authentic food sampling.

When steel drums play, crowd feels like dancing

Maine - Leslie Ouellette of Portland joined in the applause after the Rhythm Rockets & Pan Pirates finished performing.

Members of the Blue Hill band, which featured participants from two elementary school groups, impressed an audience of hundreds with their skills on the steel drums Sunday afternoon.

"It's incredible how the children pick it up," said Ouellette, 53, who also plays in a steel drum band.

The Rockets and Pirates were the youngest of 25 steel drum bands at the 17th Pan New England Steel Drum Festival at North Yarmouth Academy.

The festival drew groups of all ages and hundreds of spectators to Maine for a yearly exhibition of Caribbean sounds --Ýand the occasional conga line.

His motive and mission were what anybody's should be when duty calls in the form of helping others and improving their communities -- to make a difference.

As founder and director of the Pensacola Youth Steel Orchestra, Foster is captivating young minds and instilling the values of hard work, discipline, education and respect.

Cantata Choir goes Caribbean:
It's the steel deal
 

GRAND RAPIDS -- It's called a "symphony of steel."

That's when steel drums of all shapes and sizes combine to play the infectious, uplifting music of the Caribbean.

In the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, as many as 50 -- even as many as 100 -- steel drums (or steel pans, as they're also called) can be heard in one setting.

"It's like an orchestra," said Mark Stone, director of Southpaw Isle, a Detroit-area ensemble that performs in the Caribbean steel pan tradition.

Southpaw Isle will travel to Grand Rapids this weekend to join the Grand Rapids Cantata Choir in a unique, multicultural performance.

A 60-voice choir directed by Suzanne Tiemstra will perform "St. Francis in the Americas: A Caribbean Mass," by Glenn McClure.

The East Grand Rapids High School Choir, directed by Mark Webb, also will be part of the performance.

The text for the piece, in English, Latin, Spanish and Italian, is drawn from the writings of the Roman Catholic Mass and the writings of St. Francis of Assisi.

"The first time I heard it, I thought it was very meaningful," Tiemstra said.

Each movement is primarily based on a dance rhythm or song type, and the piece also includes such well-known melodies as the hymn "Amazing Grace" and the spiritual "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
