this must be filmed at Buddy Dive in Bonaire, fun fact, if anyone is thinking of vacationing in Bonaire I strongly STRONGLY reccomend Buddy Dive, they're the best. Talk to Augusto down there, he's the man to see about all that.
One of the most beautiful instruments...says alot about people that first made what most would consider junk into an amazing instrument!! Gotta learn how to do this before I die!!
damn, this reminded me of hawaii, i just got back from it and im trying not to be sad that im not there, this definetly makes me remember! and miss hawaii and saint martten
@abaex I've actually read a fair bit about the 2012 thing, in regards to the Mayan calendar it's supposedly merely the 'end of an age' it's just the media as normal hype things up and change it to 'it IS the end of the world'. The only other argument for it is something to do with astronomy and alignments, which is apparently what image 70 of the Nostradamus Lost Book implies.
@philosoful i also read about it and they seem to think that it will be an end of that era with earthquakes and stuff...the world will still be there of course and some people will also survive...kind of something like that but hey better learn it NOW before it's too late - that's what I wanted to say! ;P
@abaex I don't believe it though I find Nostradamus and his supposed writings/pictures very interesting, actually got that picture inlayed on a custom guitar of mine. Yeah! Should learn but my money is paying for things probably even more fun at the moment, priorities! Sad money stops so many great things... do you play steels abaex?
From much time in Trinidad, Bonaire & Jamaica, I say with experience: Bonaire is completely different from Jamaica as Omaha is different from Denver. For the record, this invention's name is not of long tradition - 'pan' is used, but is disfavored by confusion with the 3000yo name of a type of wind instrument. 'Steel drum' was original (from 'oil drum'), and is the prevalent name throughout its common range, which in 60 years has become a characteristic of local music throughout the Caribbean.
This was done in Bonaire, and Bonaire is completely different than Jamaica. And for the record, steelpans, not drums, pans, are from Trinidad and Tobago
I am proud to be the daughter of Boeboei, one of the players from Silver Bullet Steelband. Luv ya, daddy!
