The Massy Trinidad All-Stars Steel Orchestra delivered a stunning performance of Olatunji’s “Inventor” for the preliminary round of judging for Panorama 2024. The band, led by arranger Leon “Smooth” Edwards, showcased their musical versatility and creativity with a dynamic and energetic rendition of the soca hit.
The song, written by Olatunji Yearwood and Jason “Shaft” Bishop, celebrates the genius and innovation of the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago.
The band also displayed their versatility with intricate runs, from the tenor to the bass, and their ability to create a cohesive and balanced sound. Of course, the fans were thrilled, and people watching the performance online were ecstatic, posting how pleased they were with the performance. We wish them well for the rest of the competition.
