“Len “Boogsie”
Sharpe" This
gift, known to many
as “perfect pitch,”
has taken Boogsie to
musical heights only
dreamed of by
others. He was
awarded the Humming
Bird Silver Medal in
1987 and was also
named Cultural
Ambassador of
Trinidad and Tobago
(as well as David
Rudder) in 2000.
These are just two
of the many awards
and honours he has
received for his
musical excellence.
Len “Boogsie” Sharpe
also received the
Hummingbird Medal
(Gold) for his
contributions to the
development of the
steelpan in Trinidad
and Tobago in 2009.
As a cultural icon
in Trinidad and
Tobago, pan player,
arranger, and
composer, “Boogsie”
is dedicated to
bringing music that
people from all
walks of life can
appreciate and
enjoy. He channels
his musical talents
through Phase II Pan
Groove.
Led by “Boogsie,”
the five-time
national panorama
champions compete in
most of the national
steelband
competitions
throughout the year
and are also
involved in many
shows, entertaining
the public of
Trinidad and Tobago.
Len “Boogsie”
Sharpe’s “Pan Army”
sung by Kernel
Roberts, is the tune
of choice of Phase
II Pan Groove in the
Northern Region of
Trinidad and Tobago
for the 2010
steelband Panorama
competition.
