Do you believe that the Panorama competition for Carnival 2025 in Trinidad and Tobago will be a dazzling display of captivating music? From our perspective, after listening to this new music release that showcases the talents of Olatunji, Jason "Shaft" Bishop, Len Boogsie Sharpe, and Carl "Beaver" Henderson, we enthusiastically agree. Phase II Pan Groove is likely to perform the song "Pan & Soca" at Panorama 2025. This is going to be an intriguing competition, and we can't wait for pan-niceness to start!
This song should resonate well with pan-fanatics and is well-suited for the steelpan. The perceived arrangement for this song has already caused a stir, with many speculating about Boogsie's arrangement for its release. With the song's release, Phase II of Pan Groove Pan Yard will be bustling with activity. It feels like a vibrant entrant, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and rhythmic energy that make Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago so intriguing.
The team that worked on this song is an amazing combination of talent. Written by Jason Shaft Bishop and Lennox Boogsie Sharpe and featuring musical arrangements by Boogsie Sharpe for Phase II Pan Groove, it has that feeling of promise taking the band to the promised land of Steelband Champions for Carnival. Carl "Beaver" Henderson, a renowned musician, produced and mixed the song, ensuring it becomes a favorite for Panorama 2025.
Olatunji's talent shines brightly for this music release and should head to the top of the class not only as a Panorama song selection but as a surefire party favorite. Ola's carnival energy infuses the song with an infectious rhythm. Indeed, this song has the potential to propel Phase II to new heights for this Carnival season.
On the other hand, Len "Boogsie" Sharpe possesses a remarkable musical mastery. This steelpan master of the art has a history of creating magic with his musical arrangements. There is no doubt that this coming season could bring back that magic touch and deliver the title of Large Conventional Steelband Champions to this beloved Steelband. Can you feel the energy? Are you ready for Panorama? Are you ready for "Pan & Soca?" Here we go!

On Saturday, 14th December, 2024, King Carnival is set to ignite the carnival spirit in Trinidad. We kick off the celebration with steelpan music. No, this is not the time for small, medium, or large bands, but rather for what is known as a single-pan competition. Yes, there is a "band of players," but they each play on a single instrument. As we look forward to the event, we cordially invite you to join us as 25 exceptional steel orchestras battle for the title of Single Pan Champions 2025! Despite the odd timing of this competition in December 2024, we will crown the winners as the champions of 2025!
Following an extraordinary 2024 filled with milestones for the Steelpan, we invite you to experience Panorama 2025—a night pulsing with rhythm, artistry, and the spirit of Trinidad and Tobago’s iconic national instrument. Twenty-five bands will compete to win the coveted title.
Don't miss out on this spectacular event that celebrates the vibrant culture and incredible talent of our steelpan musicians. This day will serve as a buildup for what comes next: the small, medium, and large conventional bands competition.
We are ready to keep the Pan spirit alive, and we trust you are, too. The Sokah2Soca Team encourages everyone to come together for an unforgettable evening of music and celebration. Let the enchanting sounds of the steelpan transport you to a world of joy and unity as we honor the passion and dedication of our performers.
Feel free to share your excitement and predictions for the upcoming finals in the comments! Your enthusiasm will only add to the vibrant atmosphere the Steelpan fraternity wants to create.
As you await the start of the 2025 competition, we have posted the "We Capture" SoundCloud recordings of the finals for the 2024 Single Pan Finals.

Bunji Garlin returns to his lyrical prowess with his new music release, "Abandon Ship." Bunji Garlin wrote the song, and N.M.G. Music produced it. It's part of his latest efforts to bring high-energy, infectious rhythms to the forefront for Carnival 2025 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Abandon Ship will surely have fans of the artist buzzing with excitement. The song has a real vibe, and the bpm is closer to the Power Soca style than the Groove Soca style. We applaud the artist and production. As we say in Trinidad, "I'm feeling this song!" "Abandon Ship" feels like a party banger; this one hits all the sweet spots for rhythm, feel, vibe, lyrics, and style.
So if you are preparing for Carnival 2025, make sure that "Abandon Ship" is on your playlist. We love the vibe, the energy, and the lyrical style that this song offers. Please don't forget to share this post on social media and comment regarding your feelings about the song. Enjoy!
