Pan, Calypso and the Calypsonian
One cannot have a serious conversation about
pan, and the development and history of the pan movement, without
talking about the role of the first music of the steelpan - Calypso
music, and of course, the Calypsonians. Over the next few weeks WST
will focus on these great griots and troubadours.
Frankie McIntosh is
one of the greatest music minds ever out of the Caribbean. The When
Steel Talks Crew went out on the road and caught a very special
performance by Mr. McIntosh and Friends in concert at the Sesame Flyers
Cultural Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Check out the footage and story.
