Pan Trinbago is a cultural organization which was incorporated by
Act of Parliament, 5 of 1986. It formerly operated and was
registered as a Union representing the interest of steelpan players.
The general membership of the steelband Movement decided that it
would better serve their interests in the development and promotion
of the steelband, to become incorporated by an Act of Parliament
here in Trinidad and Tobago, the birth place of the steelband and
the main centre for the propagation of this art form.
