Smile with it!


The innocence in the music


Pan jam!!

Pan on the go


Rhythm of the pan


Steel pan in Chile!! It hasn't happened yet, but if someone ( and I know who..) continues behind the secretary of the steel band organization in Trinidad, it can be a reality. Now that would be something to look forward to. Just imagine, the huge trucks transporting the orchestras while they are playing down the streets lined with people. The sound of the steel, but steel tuned in a way, that the sound comes out really refined and it's so contagious that people just feel like dancing, dancing in the streets, even around the Plaza de Armas!! These of course are only thoughts and plans that would hopefully materialize into reality. There are alot of poor kids in Santiago, as in any other part in Chile. But for now the concentration is on the urban kids, because somehow or the other, they are the ones that tend to do things that get themselves in trouble. It's only because they are open to alot more influences, than kids that live outside of the urban districts. The idea is to give them projects that would definitely be positive and of course 100% fun! Letters are being sent often to the secretary of Pantrinbago to get ideas to lift this dream into reality. If or when Pantrinbago is ready to give us a hand with this project, a lot of local support would be needed of course. Again, the idea of steel pan in Chile is something to look forward to, cooking a culture pot in Chile. Have a good day, bye.
