Steelpan is the symbol of persistent resistance of colonial suppression of the african drum. Popular wisdom and fighting spirit combined with creativity recreated the persecuted drum by British colonialism in Trinidad and Tobago in the form of converted empty oildrums into percussion instrument producing roots african sounds. Thanks to the steadfastness and the will of the people to be victorious over inhumane colonialism, today the steelpan is a world wide concept of music and joy to the hearts of many.
