Caribbean Steel Band Music for
a wedding and all other events.
This delicious tropical music developed around WWII on
the Southern Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago.
Classic steel band music features a variety of sizes of
steel drum from lead pans (melody), mid-size pans (chords
and harmony), and bass pans (a very large 55 gallon steel
drum). Percussion can be added using congas, bongos, timbales,
cowbells, shakers and drums. The extended Caribbean band
is better for large dances and up-tempo affairs such as
an evening wedding party or Caribbean theme
entertainment. Modern more economical and easier to
transport, a smaller band can consist of 2 or 3 steel
drum players who also use keyboards for chords, bass and
percussion parts. Modern electronics have created very
high quality instrumental sounds that are nearly unmistakable
for the real steel band instruments. The big advantage,
is that you do not need the large "bass pans"
that require trucks to move them about! A smaller band
is appropriate for events that require a Caribbean "atmosphere",
such as a wedding or corporate event.
