Desperadoes Take 2nd Place in Panorama Finals 2019

With Nailah Blackman again working the stage as chief flag woman for the band, Desperadoes rocked the Savannah with their arrangement of "Iron Love." It was enough to earn the band second place, just 3 point behind this year's Panorama winner BP Renegades.

Despers won this year panorama for me. Clean,clear sweet music..

[@josiahfadder]

I'm a born Phase II fan and I was rooting for Despers all the way. This music was too sweet. Heard Renegades prelims and semis and thought they would have been tough to beat, but my sentimental vote was Despers all the way.

[@glennarine7653]

Desperadoes is the best band in the world and other places, I can't support any other band.

[@kellotherig]

In my opinion Zanda developed and and improvised on a very short and simple song where by most other arrangers would sample from other songs to fill in it shows the strength and . versertility of Zanda,,

Beautiful arrangement!! Could have won. By the way did anyone else notice the man on top hitting the iron? Sweet!😉😉😉

[@CarnivalVillage]

Awesome track still loving it...

[@lindaalexander3094]

Them judges need to be judged. Despers, congratulations on first place. I am the judge. See how long I took to comment. I got sick since the results. I had the "Savannah grass judge flu" Keep up the good works Zanda and ensemble. Your supporters are with you judge or no judge. Blessings

Congrats Despers! ZanMan takes you to "Church" with his chord choices and varying rhythms while staying true to the essence of the song. He also did this with the winning Desper presentation of "Different Kind of Me" in 2016. Well done Zan and Despers!

Church chords self bro lmao he go kill dem 2k20

Desperadoes was outstanding that night. They set the standard very high. What may have been the judges second place finishing was their mediocre ending. I believe if it was not for that abrupt type ending they would have been winners. In my book they were winners of the night still.

[@kellotherig]

Agree never liked the ending...but overall a beautiful arrangement..

[@allasonphillip4445]

My heart goes out to the 3 Large Steelbands who were eliminated in a preliminary round, but was that round necessary ? All Hopeless, Fruitless PanTrinbago had to do was start their Semi Finals program 1 hour earlier and all 17 bands would have been accommodated. They probably saved on paying appearance fees, ent ? But then, what did it cost them in Transportation, meals, accommodation etc. just to have a Team of Judges, their accomplices, Security Details etc travelling about Trinidad and Tobago for several nights just to eliminate 3 bands ? .... Oh Ohhh, I just remembered, the Government ( Tax Payers ) is their financer.

[@mikkixi1334]

Desperz sounds real good. But, too long and drawn out, at times is sounds confusing. Rene won hands down
