‘How We Coming’

Eunice Peters has been singing songs for the pan since 1999 and has established herself as one of the top female singers in this area. Her list of songs include Colours, House of Music (the theme of Starlift’s Panyard); Pure Party (The winning selection of Silver Stars in the Medium Category 2004); Can’t Get Enough (The winning selection of Merrytones in the Small Band Category 2007); First in the Line (The winning selection of Silver Stars in the large Band Category 2009). She also was a regular finalist in the “Pan Song Competition” placing second in 2004. This year she returns to the combination of Brian “Bean” Griffith and Alvin Daniell who she worked with on Pure Party.

Brian “Bean” Griffith - While he (Brian “Bean” Griffith) maintains that “Panorama is a cultural event that cannot really be judged, Judges have a duty to remain focused, respect every artistic expression and not just scribble any score when the performance is over”. The judges need to seek more innovative introspect to fully appreciate the efforts involved in arranging steel band music. He believes that judges should spend more time, visiting yards prior to the competition to respect the hard work and dedication of the musicians who spend countless hours preparing their compositions on steel.

Alvin C. Daniell - Engineer, Cultural Researcher, Television Presenter, Composer and Music Producer comprise the disciplines of this individual.  In the pan world he is best known for his lyrical work with some of the top pan arrangers in Trinidad and Tobago. These include Ray Holman (Pan on the Move, Pan on the Run); Len “Boogsie” Sharpe (Mind Yuh Business, Misbehave); Pelham Goddard (Parade, Play My Music, Good News, A Happy Song); Brian “Bean” Griffith (Trini Know How, Pure Party, How we coming – 2011); Don Clarke (Can’t Get Enough, Momentum – 2011). He has also worked recently with Edwin Pouchet to produce hits such as Thunder Coming, First in de Line and Battle Zone. So far he has written lyrics for over six songs for 2011.
