Jahlani Roberts
In a relatively short time Jahlani has developed into a surefire triple threat - performer, educator and administrator with the steelpan as his center and focal point. He is armed with solid expectations. And as part of his “World of Steelpan,” a phrase he has coined, Jahlani says “I have some big, big dreams... I would love to see a steelpan Hall of Fame one day. Something that validates our history and legitimizes us. Something that gives the future something to work towards - like, “I want to make the hall of fame!”...”
His face becomes intense as he lays out the litany of Pan-related things that he would like to see and expects to add to his accomplishments.
