We continue with the Pan in the 21st Century preliminary competition round. The featured band today is the Nutrien Silver Stars Steel Orchestra, playing "Leave the Door Open" by Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, and Silk Sonic.  

 

Nutrien Silver Stars, founded in the 1950s, is a large conventional band headquartered in Newtown, Port-of-Spain. They won the national large conventional panorama competition in 2009 and 2010. Their pans are well tuned, and the musical arrangement for this song was well executed. We really liked this performance. Tell us what you think.

Like fine wine, Alison Hinds ages well! No, we are not talking about her numerical age; her voice is ageless! "Fine Wine" is a collaboration with "Black Man Chant" Productions. Alison Hinds is back and showing the young Soca puppies how to do Soca right. 

 

Our goal today is to inform you if you are unaware.  Alison Hinds, like Biggie Irie, was born in London, England. Alison moved to Barbados at age 10 and began her music career in the 1990s with Square One. She has been a force in the music industry since starting her solo career in 2004. 

 

It feels like Alison is remaking herself and demanding the attention she deserves as the Queen of Soca. She has her work cut out with Patrice Roberts and Nailah Blackman ruling the Caribbean and North American Caribbean communities. 

 

Her original song for Crop Over 2023 is fantastic. We believe that "Fine Wine" will continue to climb the charts and garner a major following and hits on YouTube if promoted properly. Alison is a polished performer, and with her energetic performances and this catchy song, she will rise to the top again. 

 

We wish her well and success. However, because she is a talented singer and a powerful force for good in the Caribbean community, her road to success is "paved with Soca Gold Greatness"! She is a role model for young people, and her music inspires people all over the world. Enjoy some sweet Bashment Soca music!
