                                     PANMAGEDDON
I am writing you this letter in appreciation of the hard work and dedication that the people of Trinidad and Tobago have put into the development of our national instrument. I have mentioned to Mr. Lashley our High Commission in Toronto about organizing an all steelband event on August 31 2012 to commemorate our 50th year of independence by performing the National Anthem of Trinidad and Tobago as a tribute to our Cultural Heritage and our gift to the World. The Steelpan Instrument is just as symbolic to the World, as the Statue of Liberty in terms of freedom of expression. I propose this "Pan-mageddon" be held at 4:00 PM T&T time. All Steelbands should take to the streets, parks, community centers, savannahs in their districts creating the largest amount of Steelbands playing the official version of the Anthem at the same time. Its a little more than three (3) years from now, I am forwarding this message to you in your capacity to advise me on how all steelpan lovers can help to make this work with the assistance of Pantrinbago, all steelpan player can pay tribute to the land of the Pan!
Best Regards
Hameed Shaqq

Pan for the People

 

The Steel Pan is both a pioneering discovery and a unique ground breaking invention in relationship to the physics of all musical instruments in the world of music. Since, 6th century BC when Pythagoras the "Greek Father of Mathematics", made popular and established the musical cycle of fifths in musical theory, the Steel Pan is the only musical instrument comfigured to follow this systematic sequence of intervals. Mr Anthony Williams; the first person to create this instrument in Trinidad.

After the invention of Steel Pans the World was presented with a New Symphony and Ochestral sound. The Steelpan inventions is a new frontier for musical instruments from the 20th century and beyond. This is only one of the many different reasons, why so many people worldwide are drawn to this unique idophone instrument.

==========

ATTENTION

"Panmageddon" The Gathering in Trinidad of all Steelpan Players, Steelbands and peer. Reason, to perform the Official version of our Nation Anthem, this will help to increase international traffic at another time of the year other than Canival. This period can be used to illustrate other genres of music as Classical and Jazz in their true form played by Steelband Orchestras.

 National Steel Pan week/Month that can be use to invite the many steelbands from around the world including, the USA, Europe, Canada, Africa and other Caribbean Countries. With many International events and complimentary competitions, live performances, seminars, workshops and other activities, spread over the week/month, there are many rewards and benefits to our local economy, National Instrument and for the country as a whole.

 In modern times, how many "Great Countries can claim an invention of a National instrument in the 20th century, a new Symphony, an Ochestral Instrument alongside the traditional Winds and Strings Symphony.

=============---------------------=============

 

To the Government of Trinidad andTobago

      An Act of Parliment is needed.

An open letterto the Honourable Prime Minister and Minister of Arts and Culture Mr. Winston Peters: Please foward a Private Member's Bill declaring the Steelpan Our National Emblem and musical instrument.

Please host a World Steelpan Musical Performance of all Steelbands playing our National Anthem in Trinidad andTobago! The former Consulate Generalto Canada in 2009, was sent this proposal, as another suggessionto help commemorate and celebrate the 50th Independence of Trinidad andTobago in 2012.This is the Golden Year of Independence certainly it is a historical land-markto the Country and People as a whole.

In 1962 the government did not declare the Steel Pan our National Instrument, subsequently, the Goverment must pass an Act of Parlimentto officially declare Steel Pan, an Emblem and the National Instrument. I also propose that Steelbands and Steel Pan Players World-wide gather in their Citiesto perform theofficial version of the National Anthem of T&T, as a tributeto the Pioneers and People of "The Land of the Steel Pan. The above memtioned event will raise awarenessto the true origin of the Steelpan and its symbolismto Cultural Expression and freedom.

The Steel Pan Instrument is the responseto cultural oppression, therefore, is as revelant as a symbol of Freedom as the Statue of Liberty isto the USA.".
