It is about Laventille, Trinidad, where steel pan is developed, arranged for, studied, respected and rejoiced. "The Hammer" is used to build, shape and tune the world's newest acoustic instrument.
thanks for posting this. It was my good fortune to be there in the Savannah that night, as well as to meet and get to know a contemporary tuner who tuned pans for Phase II that year (they won Panorama). Unforgettable. Thank you again.
The absolute most electrifying performance ever in the calypso monarch finals .......this presention is what earned David Rudder the nickname "KING"....transformed the savannah into a cathedral that night !
I was just 10 yrs old when I watched this and it is such a great memory! Thank you for posting!
