Program Description
Listen for the sounds of steel drums in Virginia. This program explores the diversity of the people of the West Indies through drums or pans. The sounds of Africa, Europe, and South America combine in this multicultural connection to create the sound of the islands. Although the drums were banned by governments and countries because of fear of uprisings, we will explore how the pans became the popular instruments they are today while learning about our island neighbors to the south.
