The Steelband Movement

"Tracing the steelband from the Trinidadian tamboo bamboo band, this chronicle begins in the 1930s with young performers of African descent. In the 1940s, civic leaders gave encouragement, and by independence from Britain in 1962, the steelband had become a national symbol. Details the steelband repertoire, ranging from calypsos to favored European selections"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

המשפט הראשון: The creators of the steelband in the 1930s and 1940s drew on musical and festive traditions that had been developing in Trinidad for well over a century.
