wow this made me really proud as a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago. Currently I am in the steel pan class at my university in Oklahoma and it feels good to see others appreciate what country has produced.
Lest my previous comment be misconstrued or misinterpreted by any, let me make my sentiments more explicit:
I was CELEBRATING the changes that have taken place since the times that Sparrow was singing about, so that now Trinidad can be truly proud to say to the world: "Look where Steelban' (or Steel Pan or the Steel Drum as variously called) , and the KAISO (or "Calypso" )reach!!!"
And we have much greater heights waiting to be scaled!
The first 5 minutes also contains snatches of "Maryann." And from 1:57 to 5:11 or so is all "Outcast by Sparrow. The chorus from 2:32 to 2:50 has very good social comentary on calypsonians & steelbandsmen:

I was listening to this, and I thought the stage looked familiar... thats MY school! xD
I was in the 2008-09 steel drum band and I've joined back in this year in the 2010-11 band. Its really great fun, and Narell has some real skill.

"Calypsonians really ketch hell for a long time
To associate yourself with them was a big crime
If yuh sister talk to a steelband man
Yuh family want to break she han'
Put she out; lick out every teet in she mout
Pass, yuh outcast! Pass!"
Kaiso fadder!!! Raise yuh han' fuh DATt!!!
