It was 'PanFuhSo' and a night of musical magic with First Citizens Supernovas Steel Orchestra. On a mesmerizing evening in Lopinot, the Supernovas Steel Orchestra delivered a stellar preliminary performance of Kes' "Cocoa Tea," arranged by the talented Amrit Samaroo. The sweet, melodic sounds emanating from the steelpans were a true testament to the craftsmanship of tuners Desmond "Mappo" Richardson and Augustus Peters. Each note seemed to dance through the air, captivating the hearts of everyone in attendance.
As one of only two large Steelband's in Pan Trinbago's Eastern division, Supernovas lived up to their reputation with an unforgettable display of musical prowess. The audience, a vibrant mix of loyal fans and curious newcomers, was treated to a performance that was both enchanting and invigorating. The synergy between the musicians and the harmonious melodies created an atmosphere of pure joy and celebration.
People from all walks of life gathered to celebrate the magic of steelpan music on a night where music transcended barriers. The Supernovas Steel Orchestra's dedication and passion were evident in every beat, leaving the crowd in awe and anticipation for what the future holds for this incredible band.
Bravo, Supernovas! This band deserves a place in the next round of competition, and judging from the impact on the fans, a place in the finals. Feel free to share your thoughts and memories from this amazing performance in the comments below!
