Steelpan music lovers rest assured that the steelpan is safe and sound in the land of its birth. Today we continue to feature more of the lesser known Steelband orchestras in Trinidad. As you can see from the video posted, most of the players are very young. The future of the instrument is safe and sound!
For this post, we present Simple Songs Steel Orchestra from my hometown of Arima. This band is Simple Songs Steel Orchestra. Their song of choice is "Happy" popularized by Pharrell Williams. Please continue to support lesser-known bands and the country's youth by sharing this post with your social media contacts. Enjoy your national instrument!
