Winston Scarborough is considered by many to be one of the all-time great composers of steelband ‘panorama tunes.’

A performer artiste himself, 2010 will mark the 32nd year that Trinidad & Tobago’s Winston Scarborough (The Original DeFosto Himself - as he loves to be called) has been singing calypsos.  For him it was an uphill struggle to be recognized by the fraternity and public at large.

Abandoned by both his parents at the young age of 6 months, Scarborough was sent to the Tacarigua Orphanage in east Trinidad where he remained until age 17.  The experience in the orphanage would place an indelible stamp on him.

One of the most important aspects of DeFosto’s work as a calypsonian is the tributes he has paid in song to many of Trinidad & Tobago’s cultural icons; the late Lord Kitchener (calypsonian Aldwyn Roberts) would be one such with whom people are most familiar. 

For 2010 The Original DeFosto Himself is coming strong, dropping two big musical ‘bombshells’ for Panorama: “Smooth Sailing” and “Pan on Fire,” the former which is featured here.  “Smooth Sailing” is a tribute to long-time Trinidad All Stars’ steelband music arranger, the renowned Leon “Smooth” Edwards.  Undoubtedly this song will be a key contender for the steel orchestra’s choice of 2010 Panorama selection.
