Nutrien Silver Stars delivered a stellar performance of Olatunji's "Inventor"

Last night, the Nutrien Silver Stars Steel Orchestra played their hearts out for their adoring fans. The band played Olatunji's "Inventor" for the preliminary judging of the large steel bands for Panorama 2024.
Considered underdogs in this category, they are focused on victory with their rendition of Inventor by Olatunji, a song that celebrates the creativity and innovation of the pan. The song was written by Olatunji Yearwood and Jason “Shaft” Bishop and produced by De Red Boyz, a Barbadian production team (a Trini and a Bajan) that has worked with many Soca stars.
Inventor is a catchy and upbeat tune that showcases Olatunji’s vocal skills and lyrical prowess. Nutrien Silver Stars’ arrangement of Inventor was done by Ojay Richards and Kersh Ramsey, two young and talented musicians who have been working with the band since 2019. The band delivered a stellar performance for the preliminary judging of the Large Steelbands 2024, held at their panyard on Tragarete Road, Port of Spain. They played with precision, energy, and enthusiasm, impressing the judges and the audience alike.
We wish Nutrien Silver Stars all the best in their quest for the Panorama title, and we look forward to hearing more from them in the future.

Hadco Phase II Panorama 2024 Prelims - Gimme Everything: A Home Run with Fans!

Phase II Pan Groove, one of the most celebrated steel bands in Trinidad and Tobago, delivered a stunning performance of "Gimme Everything" for the Panorama preliminaries in 2024. The band, led by legendary arranger Len "Boogsie" Sharpe, showcased their musical prowess along with their versatility, with a dynamic rendition of a song composed by Dr. Len "Boogsie" Sharpe.
Boogsie's arrangement had the crowd dancing and praising the talented arranger. The band also displayed their signature energy and enthusiasm, with members dancing and singing along to the catchy chorus. The band received a standing ovation and loud cheers from the crowd at the end of their performance.
Phase II Pan Groove is confident that their performance of "Gimme Everything" will give them an edge over their rivals and bring them closer to their eighth panorama victory. It has been a long 10 years since their last victory in 2014. This band needs a victory celebration, but they will have to give it all and a little more to dethrone last year's champion. Only time will tell...

Amazing BP Renegades wows fans with Mical Teja's DNA
Ananda/Sokah2Soca

The bp Renegades Steel Orchestra, one of the most celebrated and successful steel bands in Trinidad and Tobago, delivered a stunning performance of Mical Teja’s “DNA” for the preliminary round of judging for Panorama 2024.
The arrangement, done by the brilliant Duvone Stewart, a renowned pannist, composer, and cultural ambassador from Tobago, captured the essence and excitement of the steel pan music. It was a musical treat tonight for the fans who witnessed the performance. Renegades delivered a spectacular performance of Duvone's arrangement that featured snippets of patriotic songs.
The song, a lively and catchy soca tune that celebrates the carnival culture of Trinidad and Tobago, was played with finesse and flair by the Renegades, who demonstrated their mastery and innovation of the steel pan instrument. The audience was captivated by the rhythmic and melodic fusion of live guitars, bass, brass, drums, and steel pans, and sang along to the chorus of “It In We DNA”. The Renegades received thunderous applause and rave reviews from the crowd, who were blown away by their musical skills and creativity. We expect to see this band go all the way to the finals and judging from tonight's performance fans expect them to repeat as Champions once again.

The Massy Trinidad All-Stars Steel Orchestra delivered a stunning performance of Olatunji’s “Inventor” for the preliminary round of judging for Panorama 2024. The band, led by arranger Leon “Smooth” Edwards, showcased their musical versatility and creativity with a dynamic and energetic rendition of the soca hit.
The song, written by Olatunji Yearwood and Jason “Shaft” Bishop, celebrates the genius and innovation of the steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago.
The band also displayed their versatility with intricate runs, from the tenor to the bass, and their ability to create a cohesive and balanced sound. Of course, the fans were thrilled, and people watching the performance online were ecstatic, posting how pleased they were with the performance. We wish them well for the rest of the competition.
