‘This is Bacchanal’

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 (winning selection of Merrytones in the Small Band Category 2007) and; First in the Line (winning selection of Silver Stars in the large Band Category 2009).

Eunice was also a regular finalist in the “Pan Song Competition” placing second in 2004. 

For the 2012 Panorama season, she vocalizes the track This Is Bacchanal.

Edwin Pouchet - Edwin grew up in pan, hearing pan morning, noon and night.  His bigger brother Junior Pouchet was synonymous with the band Silver Stars. When Junior migrated to Orlando to work with Disney World, Edwin took up the mantle and brought the band back in the limelight after a 10-year break.  Edwin proved to be a creative and exciting arranger reviving some of the band’s trademark selections as well as introducing new ones. The band made its name in the medium category of the steelband competitions winning with Pure Party in 2004. He also won the first “Pan in the 21^st Century” competition with Love Theme as well as with the popular Phantom of the Opera.

However when he took the leap into the Large Band Category of Panorama in 2008, he earned the respect of his fans and peers with a respectable place in the finals with Thunder Coming, his own composition. This led to his first victory at that level the following year with First in the Line.

In 2010 year he created history by repeating with his own composition Battle Zone as this tune was also the winning Panorama selection in Montreal, Toronto, New York and Washington.  Lyrics for his compositions have been written by Alvin Daniell; in 2011 they teamed up again to produce Wake Up sung by Denyse Plummer and It’s Showtime! sung by Anslem Douglas.

For Panorama 2012 their collaboration continues with this song, Gie Dem Tempo and This Is Bacchanal.

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 with Edwin Pouchet to produce several hits such as Thunder Coming, First in de Line, Battle Zone and It’s Showtime!, among others. 

For 2012 the Pouchet-Daniell duo is at it again with the track featured here, This is Bacchanal.
