Pan Alive Steelband Competition 2019 - Toronto, Canada

August 2

Pan Alive: Indulge in the sweet sounds of the steel pan at the Pan Alive steel pan competition. Did you know that the steel pan is the only acoustic instrument invented in the 20th century? Trinidad is its original home, but the instrument can be found all across the Caribbean and almost anywhere Caribbean people live. Pan Alive brings together the best steel pan bands, all going for the title of Best Band.
