Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Hell Yard, Port of Spain, home of the iconic Trinidad All Stars Steel Orchestra, will be a buzz of activities all day on May 21, in celebration of the band’s 90th anniversary.
And even as the band marks such an historic milestone, the 11-time
Panorama champion is not ready to retire or fade into obscurity, but is
leading the pack as an innovator and trendsetter in the footsteps of its
forefathers, especially
Neville Jules, whose experimental approach with the national instrument
is unrivalled.

Facebook “Likes” sends PanOnTheNet Apology - “We got it wrong”
Metaverse - Facebook got it
wrong. About three years ago without warning or reason all WST
(When Steel Talks) steelpan-related accounts fell out of favor
with the social media giant Facebook now known as Meta and its
aligned consortiums (Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp). Because
WST has all of our material hosted on our own shared servers,
this ‘tag’ was not incurable or as problematic as it could have
been. However, it was annoying to have people seeking critical
steelpan music info diverted by Facebook AI (artificial
intelligence).
