The steelpan instrument presence in St. Lucia
dates back to the 1940's. Moreover, the
instrument has played an influential role in St.
Lucia. Somewhere in the 1940’s a young man
named Lennard “Scrubb” Wellington, began his
journey to become St. Lucia’s steelband maestro.
He had experimented with music from the age of
seven and his real interest in pan started after
World War 2 when a number of expatriate
soldiers, their families and some locals were
celebrating the end of the war.
