Usually recoded steelband music never sounds the same, but this recording is great.

A truly stunning performance. One of the greatest aspects of Pat's character was that she could draw truly amazing performances out of her players. She will be sorely missed. Rest In peace, Miss Bishop.

Omg I've been searching for this for years! I was there at the Jean Pierre complex when Despers mesmerized the packed stadium with this tune. THANK YOU whoever made the recording and posted it here.

As a little girl I dreamed of being a conductor of an orchestra, and this is one of my favorite pieces of music, played by some of my favorite instruments.

2018 and Despers make me scream out....R.I.P. Ms Bishop👏👏👏

[@bajanplayer335]

Thanks you...Thank you - perfect example of Pan playing classical music without scores....ROTE is a wonderful thing, however learning music theory as well opens up a whole other side of your creativity...

I long for the days when the festival returns. Many of us got exposed to classical music through the pan festival.
