Nailah in Tears After El Dorado Secondary Performs Iron Love

[@josephdouglas5175]

I was the iron Man in that performance and honestly I will never ever forget that day. Thx everyone for your support

[@MyPhase2]

don't let them break y'all dud.e there is no way another band beat y'all trust me, i was there, i have been involved in pan for years this is simply amazing, it was by far one of the best arrangements i have heard in years, at both juniors and seniors, the ending was the most creative i have ever heard after Clive Bradely's ending of Toco Band for Nutones.

[@zedmak]

Nailah too, so ur in good company...

[@sprayteam]

Best ever bro. I absolutely loved this performance over the bigger bands... Awesome job👏👏👏👏👏👏

Congratulations to them on a job well done

[@HansumTrini]

The youths performed their TAILS OFF! ALL of them...each one. They gave me hope that the saying "pan is in good hands" isn't a cliche...but a reality in progress. So much enthusiasm and the fresh performances were something all pan men & women can learn from. I say--- THANK YOU!!

[@beverlywight7158]

I am so happy they are teaching the youngsters our culture is alive and well, but I must say I wish I had the opportunity during my school years in TNT to learn to beat pan.🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@HansumTrini]

@@beverlywight7158 You can learn RIGHT NOW you know🙄 lol. I didn't learn when I was younger either. However, on my off days from work (or after ), even if for a couple mins I learned--- slowly but surely I made my way. If u LOVE something, trust me...there's time darling😊

[@12Cee45]

Amen. One day...👍🏾

[@ricosolomon]

Soaring & vibrant version. Intricate, balanced and futher moving than a Large Band's efforts with the same song. While most others have made futile attempts, El Dorado Secondary brought this composition to life, adding unexpected playfulness then rising to its crescendo, rendering some listeners to stream tears of joy, inspiration among other emotions. Superb. Crime and the downfall of Trinidad's youth is highlighted far too often, the El Dorado Secondary band is clearly talented and skilled, for the limited resources and time playing the instruments, on this day, this steeldrum band nears orchestral excellence. (and moved me in my car in traffic while driving to work in Toronto... )

[@sarahleechang2122]

Which El Dorado is this

[@rodneyjoseph7855]

Rick Solomon kudos to you clearly you have knowledge and used it to perfection, nuff respect to you

🏆🥇In my book 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎶🇹🇹🔥❤️💯 now that’s an arrangement in yuh pwefen!!! They played the instrument not beat it like some .... don’t talk for the rhythm section💫💫💫💫💫 Nailah 😘

[@barrymckenzie98]

Amazing arraignment and execution of the piece proves that steel pan will not die just as long as we encourage the art form. Great job.

[@Neillan]

Easily one of if not THE BEST PAN PERFORMANCE I've ever seen! Outstanding work!!

[@kenyasmall8041]

That ending had me over here crying too them kids put their soul into that performance AMAZING

[@brownsugar2271]

Tears, tears of joy. The best rendition so far for me. They more than bring it! Proud of them. There is no reason people of T&T. Should not be able to make s living off, of playing pan. The government and private sector need to look into it. I love, love this rendition! Great job, and Great song!

[@xiaothe1]

Wonderful performance ElDo! Love the arrangement! Big up to Keisha Codrington of the Codrington Pan Family-well done!

Watched this again for the nth time , can't help but also think back to a few years ago when El Do blue and El Do brown were making news for the wrong reasons, this is so uplifting. They are proud of themselves and clearly know they have done a good job. Let's hope that the detractors of the pan in schools project throw their support behind it

Not me crying in 2022. This was so beautiful.
