Curaçao’s Legendary Steelpan Artist | KONKIE

Steelpan music… a dying song?
In this documentary steelpannist “Konkie” shares about his first true love: the steel drum!
Not many musicians make their own instruments as well. With steel pan music losing popularity around the world, it is talented musicians like the incredibly humble Konkie that keep this musical art alive and thriving.

A musical brother under my skin, a beautiful soul and an incredible musician. Proud is a small word, but struck emotionally and in awe. Beautiful!
