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!
