Andre White is a Force to be reckoned with in future Panoramas'.He and Duvonne Stewart of Renegades are the new breed of brilliant arrangers.

Wayne McDaniel 💯 % agree with this..!!!

Sublime brilliant (as usual) enhanced by no moving pics...up comes the music sharp as a crystal - playing as ONE x beautiful thanks

Unlike DUVONE Stewart who is great at theatratics and story telling Andre kept this arrangement exciting and colourful as synonymous with Trini Savannah Carnival ...... He was able to maintain that infectious rhythm section fully incorporated similar to a voicing instrument ....... He never strayed too far from the numerous hooklines provided for by its writer/composer KES ..... OH LAWD OYE was cleverly used 14 times ..... THE SAVANNAH GRASS 16 times ..... WE GO MAKE THEM JUMP 15 times ........ It was surely a fresh breath of savannah grass which at times swayed 3.24 twirled 7.48 grew 9.23 and even laid down at the end of this arrangement ......... I really enjoyed listening to this arrangement ..... Very Dynamic, Uptempo and well executed .......... Another victory for STEELPAN .
