📰 Steelpan Takes Harvard! 🛢 🎶🔥
Harvard University now has its own steelpan ensemble, thanks to the vision and persistence of T&T student Adam Bartholomew and his fellow pannist Elizabeth Bennett @elizabethbennett_ 🇹🇹🇬🇧✨
🗣️ “Harvard is one of the premier tertiary institutions in the world, so it brings me immense pride as a Trinbagonian that we now have a steelpan ensemble here on campus.” – @adam_bart
From a shared love of pan to building an official student organisation, Adam and Elizabeth have brought Trinidad & Tobago’s national instrument to one of the world’s most prestigious schools—bridging cultures and creating new opportunities for steelpan worldwide. @harvardcollegesteelpan

Almost a year after its premiere at the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival, “Panazz: The Story” is finally ready for the world to see it.
My uncle @cheffinbar and I have put our hearts and souls into this film to ensure that it embodies the greatness and legacy of Panazz itself.
A tremendous thank you to @zabspencer for believing in us and pushing us to go the distance to get the film mastered so that it can have the widest global reach possible.
Thank you to @tradeministrytt , @hadcoexperiences and @mittcoltd for your partnership with us which has supported the post-production of this film, such that it can now be experienced for the first time with enhanced visuals by @halo_post_production and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound by @zabspencer which will ensure that you don’t simply watch the story of Panazz, but become a part of it.

Today we mourn the passing of a national icon, Keith “Jumbo” Martin.
Since 1971, a sporting or cultural event in Trinidad would not be considered complete without the wonderful presence of Jumbo.
After making the extempo video to support his right to sell nuts at the Queen’s Park Oval during CPL 2019, I would get excited whenever I would pass him as he was selling nuts on the road near to where I live. I will miss seeing the way his face would light up anytime he would see me. It has been an honour to know him and to have played a small part in his life.
My condolences to his close friends and family. May he rest in peace and may our memory of him inspire us to love our beautiful country and our fellow Trinbagonians, just as he did🇹🇹
