SteelFesTT: Steelpan Festival of Trinidad & Tobago - Conference Programme
The Inaugural Trinidad and Tobago International
Conference on the Steelpan
May 6–9, 2012
SteelFesTT 2012 (the Steelpan Festival of Trinidad and Tobago) inaugurates what is intended to become a biennial instrument-based festival dedicated to the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago. The festival will be launched in 2012 during the momentous 50th Anniversary of Independence celebrations. The launch will also commemorate 75 years of development of the instrument since the Alexander Ragtime Band introduced convex-shaped sweet-oil pans, dustbin covers and biscuit pans to festivities on the streets of Port-of-Spain.
