LYRICS
Verse 1
We have the session bouncing
Just tell the world
We celebrating something, feelings unfold
Going hard to the limit
Jammin’ hard with ah spirit
Ah hear the tenors ringing
Oh what ah song
Look how the notes just trembling on the pan
We go rock all night showing we hand
This is feel good music, you can’t refuse it
Make way for the tenor pan in conversation, yes
Chorus
Spreading hands, spreading hands, spreading hands,
Spreading hands, let’s wave
Tonight tonight we go jump and sway
Nothing to beat this ramajay
Tonight tonight we go break away
If you feel nice do it twice, There’s magic in the air
Happy and we doh care
Spreading hands, spreading hands, spreading hands,
For the carnival
Verse 2
Can’t resist the magic
Fire on steel like ah guiding moonlight
One you can feel
Like ah guiding moonlight one you can feel
We go take you up to the sky on a panorama vibes
Ah hear a bass man pounding
Dung dung dung dung
Feel like thunder rolling all over
We can feel pan rage
Burning the stage
This is pan on tempo, so let it all go
This is land of the rhythm
Happy so let, yes
Chorus
Spreading hands, spreading hands, spreading hands,
Spreading hands, let’s wave
Tonight tonight we go jump and sway
Nothing to beat this ramajay
Tonight, tonight we go break away
If you feel nice do it twice, There’s magic in the air
Happy and we doh care
Spreading hands, spreading hands, spreading hands,
For the carnival
(repeat chorus ) out side

Kenrick and Kenneth Headley |
|
Panist, arranger and composer
Kenrick Headley from Tunapuna Village in
eastern Trinidad finally decided to
throw his hat into the Panorama
composing arena. Kenrick Headley with
his brother Harold were members of the Esso Tripoli Steelband that toured with
Liberace under the tutelage of Father
Jon Sewell and manager Hugh Borde.
During this time, Kenrick became an
in-house arranger with Tripoli arranging
many of their popular music tunes like
the Jackson Five’s “I want you Back.”
After touring with Tripoli, Kenrick
maintained his presence in the Steelpan
fraternity, assuming arranging duties
together with his brother Harold (The
Headley Brothers,) for Flamingoes,
Exodus (1982-86), Invaders (1987-88),
Birdsong (1991-94), Humming Bird Pan
Groove (2000), Arima Angel Harps
(2001-2002) and Tunapuna Tipca.
Under the watchful eye of his father
Kenrick, son Kenneth Headley grew up in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
wanting to be a steelpan arranger
himself. He has played in numerous
Panoramas in Trinidad with Birdsong,
Exodus and Invaders steel orchestras,
starting at the tender age of 5. Now as
a young man, Kenneth is looking at
gaining his own voice as a steelpan
soloist, arranger, and composer. Kenneth
attributes his influences to both his
famous father and uncle (The Headley
Brothers), former New York-based
classmates Khuent Rose and Freddy
Harris, III, along with Leon “Foster”
Thomas, and other young arrangers like
Amrit Samaroo, and Duvone Stewart.
When vocalist Oscar B, touring with
Byron Lee and the Dragonnaires came to
Vancouver he met up with the Headleys,
and the idea to create a tune for
panorama 2010 was born.
“We just wanted to let people know that
there is Pan and good pan players in
Vancouver B.C. We have many solid
players such as Gary Pena, Adrian
Hartley (Phase II tenor men), Guinness
Cavaliers elders Tony ‘Jerro’ Blackman,
Clifton Brown Pierre and Bambi Ali - who
all actively play in Vancouver. This
offering for Panorama is exciting,
musically fluid, and vibrant.”
