Trinidad is a slow tempo, easy groove that will introduce the typical rhythmic feel of “old-time” Calypso, a variation using the “two drop” Calypso feel and straight ahead Soca.
Great for beginners and experienced bands alike, this chart features melodies inspired by Kaiso tunes of the great Raymond Quevado (known as Calypsonian Atilla the Hun). This is a slow tempo, easy groove that will introduce the typical rhythmic feel of “old-time” Calypso, a variation using the “two drop” Calypso feel and straight ahead Soca. After a brief intro, there are three different sections; lots of unison strumming rhythms; and a short feature for the double pans on part of the melody. Interesting for both players and listeners, this will be a nice addition to any performance.
This series was commissioned specifically to provide quality steel band music for beginning steel bands. The six pieces in this collection represent a variety of styles, composers and difficulty and can serve as an entire semester’s repertoire.
