Pan
Go celebrates Caribbean music through
use of Trinidad steel pans. Their exciting
blend of Caribbean and American rhythms will
move young
and old alike. The players provide a musical
and
visual feast as their hands dance across the
surfaces
of steel pans and latin percussion instruments.
Calypso, Soca, Samba, Reggae, Jazz and Pop
are all part of their joyful sound.
Pan
Go strives to recreate the music and spirit
of Trinidad and Tobago's steel bands. The
group, formed by Paul G. Ross in 1988, performs
his original compositions and arrangements
on the four main instruments of the steel
pan family: Tenor pan, Double Tenor pans,
Double Second Pans and Cello pans, along with
electric bass, drumset and percussion. Their
steel pans are hand-crafted and maintained
by master drum builder Cliff Alexis. His tuning
provides a real acoustic richness to make
for an authentic Trinidadian sound.
Pan
Go can be heard year round at festivals,
concerts, parties and nightclubs around Chicagoland.
For that big steel band sound, add Pan Go
to your next tropical event.
