Anybody else like to hear a Caribbean Steel Band? From the Panorama Steel Band Finals 2024 here are Massy Trinidad All Stars Steel Orchestra performing - Inventor by Olantunji….
one for you to post please. True world music, Dutch tenors singing an Italian anti-fascist song with English subtitles. By the looks of it, could be the song of 2025.
Tomorrow I’ll post it….
An original language of a famous song claimed by us English speakers. Those were the days my friend
I knew it was a Russian song from the early part of the last century….i’m not aware that anyone ever claimed it was originally an English song, Mary Hopkins had a hit with it 1968 with English lyrics of course and many people may not realise it was originally written with Russian words.
Wot's wrong with this version? No tits?
That looks & sounds more like a full orchestra than a band.
As usual a joyous performance.
Fantastic energy.
It is an orchestra…as detailed in the text above.
@Marionville lol, you introduced it as a band.
@FrayedBear Yes, but collectively the genre is known as “Caribbean Steel Band Music”. That’s why I asked the question the way I did!
@Marionville ugh? "Anybody else like to hear a Caribbean Steel Band?" - no mention of genre.
@Marionville I expected a 5 or 6 piece band.
@FrayedBear Managing your expectations is not my problem!
