Panorama Finals 2010

DeCooler — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:51:38 +0000

Please find a list with the results of the semi-finals for this year’s National Panorama competition on panonthenet.com. A great shock for many might be that the legendary steel band Exodus didn’t make it to the finals that will be held on February 13th, 2010 at the Queen’s Park Savannah. This is especially extraordinary since Pan Trinbago has just changed the rules for the Panorama and increased the number of finalists.
“As a result there will be ten (10) finalists in each of the three categories ie Small, Medium and Large Conventional Bands.
“Over the years,” said Richard Forteau, Secretary, “there have been requests to increase the number of finalists. We are pleased to note that we have taken the call to the authorities who have agreed to the increase, both in numbers and prizes.”
Responding to concerns of pan lovers about the length of the show, the official revealed it (Saturday’s finals) will be a tighter show, starting at 6:00 pm.” (Source: Pan Trinbago).

This song will be performed by several groups, e.g. Renegades and Silver Stars:

Anselm Douglas – Battle Zone by Faluma

Congratulations to Ravi B who is the official Chutney Monarch 2010 with his tune “Ah Drinka”!

Second is Rikki Jay with his song “Barman”

Great songs, but isn’t it remarkable that Chutney seems to be firmly in the hands of male rum-lovers…
