    Carpe Diem

    $35.00

    This is a fun, high-energy calypso that will have the audience up on their
    feet! I composed “Carpe Diem” during the time I had the Sons Of Steel
    steel band. It was written with performance in mind with lots of room for
    cool choreography, which the “Sons” were known for during our live
    concerts.

    Description

    “Carpe Diem” (latin for seize the day…and that’s what this tune does), has
    a little bit of everything for the steel band. Very upbeat, a blast to play, and
    each section in the band gets a time to shine! Nice dynamics in the middle
    of the tune give way to a Latin jam that climaxes to end the tune.
    This one was a favorite of ours and of our audiences. So much so that we
    named one of our CDs after it. Carpe Diem…seize the day, was and is my
    motto for life!
