Trinidad All Stars - Woman On The Bass

Panorama Champions of the 20th Century

[@beniomootoo2778]

The absolute best played panorama tune everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I was 19 yrs old at that time in 1980 and a high Tenor player of South Stars with Steve Achaiba but nothing moved me like this rendition. It was pore raising

[@azardkhan9312]

I was 8yr old ....

[@gregoryrampersad3415]

I must have listened to this every day, multiple time a day, for over twenty three years. It never gets old. Mesmerizing arrangement beautifully rendered.

[@HarryPotter-wb5bx]

For real eh this is a master piece of steelpan arrangement listen the end its like u hearing Art Decouto playing .

[@dirkbirot2155]

[@reggiebenjamin8586]

One of the greatest and most complete panorama arrangement ever. The slower version is even sweeter.

[@charlesbarry971]

This arrangement is one of the greatest.

[@papishow]

Still the greatest pan tune to this day.

[@ianmorris6409]

[@thetravelinsagittarian1316]

How can anyone hold still to such beautiful music? ...man... I have got to get back to Trinidad I miss it so much! The culture makes sense to me, I felt completely at home there.💖🇹🇹

[@sevewonn8567]

I was standing By the grandstand Up in the savannah Digging this Indian girl Beating bass pan Coming up in Despers With Symphony in G arranged by Clive Bradley Make the spectators leave the stand And just run out to the band While she play The crowd shout and say We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass She beating Yuh could imagine First pan for the day How people breakaway Cause all the while I tell you What they were hearing Is only brass and DJ Thus written in the air Woman prancing like she ain't care This Indian girl tie she shirt round she belly Beating a sweet sweet melody On the stage The crowd went rampage We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass She beating My friends This is one thing I have to mention How disappointed Were the foreigners After coming down here to hear pan But them Desperadoes Had them on they toes Took away all they frustration Keep them jumping in the sun The crowd start to roar Despers give we more We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass We want the woman on the bass She beating

[@LericPasea]

I am one of the original members of Starland Steel Orchestra and I haven't heard this band blay since I left T&T 38 years ago. This is fantastic music.

I’d be way to nervous I would mess up if I was planning in Panorama. They make it look easy. Great job.

[@carlassee1]

i am a despersman all my life but have been living abroad for 45 years ...and every time i listens to "Scrunters woman on the base" by All Starsit gives me such a great feeling to see how far our pan arrangements have come.

[@dalkeithali3862]

This is my pan “turn on” music……it’s not only the great arrangement ,it’s also the spirit,energy and great vibes of musical ecstasy of the performance

[@HarryPotter-wb5bx]

The #1 National Steelpan Panorama tune of all time. Chreograph, boss arrangement and sweet music.hard act to follow.

[@charlesbarry6730]

This has become a Panorama standard.

[@ThePapaboia3466]

this is without a doubt the greatest rendition of a panorama tune in the history of the instrument.....in the year 2009 it still raises my pores

[@light279]

Don’t forget Rain Melody

I PLAYED MASS FROM 1971 TO 1978 WITH TRINIDAD ALL STARS FLEET IN.BEST BAND.WRIGHT.

[@Kacee70]

2023 and still loving this arrangement! 2023 and looking at current recordings of current steelpan competition in T&T and lamenting, LAMENTING, that conditions haven't been improved. People of T&T demand more of your politicians and big business owners - there should be venue built for practice and competition by the steelpans. That venue would have proper seating for visitors, dignitaries, refreshment, washrooms, including a change room for the performers, a library to educate visitors about steelpan, carnival, Trinidad, etc. Trinidad carnival brings too much $$$ into the economy for there not to be a more professional venue for the performers and visitors. Demand improvements! ~

[@thelibran11]

That piece of music at 4.54 and repeated at 5.35,makes this the best ever Panorama arrangement...for me!

[@ianforbes3121]

Still my favorite performance at Panorama ever!!!!!!

+kappad0g Bless your Mother, and yourself. I sure wish my Mother had lived long enough to discover the steel orchestra with me, alas, she passed before I heard the big TT sound myself. I think she would have enjoyed it...I became a pan jumbie myself. Yes this is one sweet smooth great rendition of a very melodic tune. Just fabulous.

[@samanthafelix3883]

The best panorama tune ever played in the world was Curry Tabanca from Katelli All Stars and i'm a diehard Renegades fan. This one was also good,but Curry Tabanca take de cake or throne.

I think the flagman is right-handed, but best I can tell, everyone else is ambidextrous. And brilliant! And the power moves are almost always to the right and clockwise, although the full sweep back to the left and across the top with the sticks trailing slightly is great theater - and great drumming. Cheers!
