[@johnlos906]

Love it, Love it.I am so proud to be a Trini. To see how a small Caribbean island can have such an impact on the world. Great...

[@bernardenvielebite6270]

Well deserved. Latest instrument created by human on earth in history, and what a celestial sound !

[@d.ahuman6323]

Lord Relator is a National treasure to the World.

[@waynepond8748]

Thank you Trinidad for gifting us with beautiful calypso, steel band and soca music. Really loved the first song.

[@light279]

Yes; the first song, called Steelband Music, is really wonderful. One cannot say enough great things about the GREAT Kitchener.

[@android9410]

Could never understand how someone can dislike this performance..

[@pmarin821]

Lord Relator has to be the most underrated calypsonian still living. The man is just a tremendous resource that hasn't been appreciated much in my view

[@robbiethompson935]

He is a great ambassador for Trinidad and Tobago and for Calypso... respect

Giving justice to Trinbago ArtistsThanks to Andy, Relator and the Orchestra Beautiful orchestration..

[@carphill1]

You know we in Trinidad and Tobago as a nation sometimes don't show and give our Calypso Entertainers and Pannist total appreciation of there talents when you log on to KZbin and other foreign sites is then you really see and hear there true skill and talents and realise how much our sweet pan and calypso music is cherished abroad I would love to see more video/Performances like this done locally also

[@albertogonzalez5619]

I think have heard this more than anyone. Born in Venezuela in a small town close to Trinidad. Heard this is a refined sound of my early years. My relaxed memory on wonderful music I grown with though radio

[@consuellalynch1824]

The best.

[@janicebrown9540]

This is just beautiful happy music! I play it every morning. Probably look crazy walking the dog every morning dancing! I love love love it. Thank you for this gift.

[@petersammy7749]

proud of my country, Andy U are an amazing musician, thanks for marketing our steel pan music

[@berwynmeadows7464]

This collaboration compares to Harry Belafonte's "Calypso" album of the early '50. It has all the earmarks of a great cultural milestone for Caribbean music. A superb representation of Island stories, rhythms, and melodies. Hats off to Kitch, Lord Relator, Andy Narell, musicians, studio, and IsDePaninMe for posting.

[@charlesbarry971]

Good 👍 😊 music never gets old

[@Jahspecs1]

A very pleasant collaboration... Big band flavor and an overseas pan.... Yes we love our local renditions the most but these fusions are the highest compliment. Love it!!!

[@warrengeorge2307]

Excellent, I listen to this all the time, it never gets old, everything just blend so sweet, I LOVE IT!

[@vennesacreese8051]

So do I....

[@Crazygirlziou5]

Thank you for that warm tingly feeling.

[@wigstretch]

What a great, feel good performance but everyone. I love it!!.

[@kestonnancoo9014]

I am so proud to listen to the harmonization of steel and brass. Just love it! Keston Nancoo

[@OutrageExtreme]

First, I must agree with most of if not all the comments below. This is just a marvellous exhibition of the capacity of this instrument we call pan. Andy, has been able to delicately extract and voice certain chords out in pan, that I don't recall hearing much of before, and with that fat WDR big-band brass orchestration and arrangements that certainly embellish the voice of pan as we know it. His collaboration with Relator is also remarkable, fitting and in fact superb. The solos particularly by the Alto Saxaphonist, the flugelhorn and then the trumpet were well delivered, a first for me. I look forward to seeing this live.

[@wayneyearwood9415]

Relator is a calypso monarch King of Calypso & very versatile nom thats class boys !!!

[@reno1531]

This is truly heavenly

[@kellotherig]

Excellant Imagination and Flavor given to this Project ,, shows what the steel pan is capable of..Good work Andy..

[@anthonytenia3232]

What a "Fusion" between " STEEL & BRASS "!!!! Steel is my thing grew up on it.....VERY WELL done Andy and Relator !!!!! Wish I could hear more like this....Tony*********

[@triconcert]

This philharmonic experience was nothing but a deluge of a sea bath wafting me in its seductive calypso rhythms. Kitchener would be quite pleased!

[@angus0a]

Fantastic fusion. Brass and steel with extemporal delivery of what remains the th sweet legacy of the grandmaster. Truly uplifting. Kitch would be proud if he were to hear this.

[@dillpickle1989]

100% agreed :)

[@irvingfields9336]

Thanks to Andy and Lord Relator

[@irvingfields9336]

Pan was and is the love of life, thanks to for your efforts keep fighting for its place on the world stage your work will be rewareed one day. Thanks. Ceaser

[@charlesbarry6730]

Thanks Andy and Relator for preserving these Kitchener gems. Good music never dies.

[@surindragoojar3501]

🙏 Full credit to Lord Relator Truly a Inventor of Music, As a Little Boi in Village, The Raymond Family in d Sixties use to Play Indian music on Steel Pan. Mr. Cyrill Raymond was an Inventor also. He invented the Modern day Tassa In Canada. I Think our Nation UWI Owes Mr. Willard Harris a Doctorate. Truly a Gem for our Music and People

[@johnkolias1989]

Just had to comment....what an uplifting score of music. Narell and the steel pans just keep everything smokin' in the background. Inor, once again, is dead on with conga's and the drummer is spot on. A few of the ladies on the steels are really "grooving" and jumpin' out of the skins with this great medley.....BRAVO from a musician.

[@jeromeclarke4141]

Yeah i am here again January 21st 2021 from Suriname the Caribbean South America with Love from a Steelpan Steeldrum Tuner age 65 still making the Steelpan with the Sledge Hammer ,,Manual Labour ,,my compliments again to Andy Narell,,straight up Music has No Colour ,No Race < religion, Border, ,,keep on going on Andy ,Who is listening January 2021

[@lymadunbar3008]

As I listened to this awesome piece of music and performance, I couldn't help but ask, who were the 51 people that gave this a Thumbs down...

[@lambertphiliplp9698]

Andy Narell is expanding the steelband music repertoire in many directions in respect to musical elements. I love the merging of steel and brass.

[@GLORIASikhwai-cl6pp]

One of the beat in the business and really understand the art form Lord Relator. As always class + class equal excellence thanks guys #bostoncarnivalvillage

[@RobertNesterMarley]

Sweet sweet sweet, Kitchener use to eat in my Dad's ice cream parlour when on tour, and I am in the process of adding Dr Kitchener Dr Kitch is in my repertoire,( but not many English people understand the lyrics, one even thought I was talking about drugs,) to my repertoire as another tribute to this awesome contributor to our culture. may his music continue to be played . I sure will. Great backing band, which just shows how sweet this music is, and will always be. Right on. Relator is also great with the arrangement . These old tunes bring back so many sweet childhood memories. My Brother , Your sister, another great song to be included on my next CD......

[@dmunchman]

Always listen after nine pm in the evening at lease three times a week . No new arrangements were added but sound sweeter every time i hear these melodies .

[@joshuad8805]

These are all master musicians this is why it sounds sweeter....great mix and production to produce a highly polished product of our calypso music.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Great combination of the steel pan and conventional instruments .

[@carphill1]

my pores raising while listening to the sweet melody of kitch realator and pan music

[@e.a.rosales8838]

This is WONDERFUL!

[@Pjaysusity]

Eyes totally filled up. Wow! Such understanding of the use of touch-feel. Transition at 9:30. Expression galore! Who are the engineers on this mix and stage setting. Kudos to them. All I need now is to lie down in a hammock smack in the middle of this stage. lol.

[@TomNovice]

My friend just emailed this to me...Absolutely awesome.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Great rendition of the music of the grand Master. Trinidadians should take a look at the potential of the steel pan and Calypso. Steel pan has more potential than only Panorama.

[@Kjaja07]

What about this is Steel Pan achieving more than "only" Panorama?

[@anthonylushington3605]

Thank you Charles Barry you don't have to bang the Instrument to hear this kind of rendition I heard Rudolph Charles said that before

[@DennisDrakes-d1b]

A true classic. Boss.

Thanks Relator! Something we could relate to......!

[@alorey24]

Pan has NO COLOUR! What are you talkin' about? Pan has reached so many new shores globally. Be happy and grateful! :)

[@weldonryan9485]

Great music but no Colour? Another art form stolen or misappropriated. Sad that we're so hard on our own pan players.

[@kerryramirez7936]

So joyous... Makes my heart leap...
