AFROPAN
By: Mr. Righteous
I was telling my friends how I play with this Band
And the name of the band is Afropan
Afropan ??? Afropan??? Is that some kind of throw back band?
What instrument you play? And do you even have 1 fan?
Afropan!! Afropan !! You mean you never hear about Afropan
They have been around for more than 35 years my man
Started in the 70’s with Earl and them teaching students to play pan
And now today.. We still one of the best in the land
We have pannists of varying talents and skills
Some moved on, and some helped us surpass all expectation
Cause we the best playing steelband
In about 30 of the last 35 competition
If only Caribana will pay us our winnings on a timely occasion
Won’t have to come around begging for sponsorship or donations
A Percussion Instrument you thought!
LOOK !! LOOK !! Man don’t get me mad
Is the only musical instrument invented in the 20th century
And the birth place is the same as mine, sweet land called Trinidad
Our repertoire includes Calypso, Reggae, Religious and Classic
Whether is Earl or Andre, give them anything they could arrange it
So on Caribana when you see Afropan
Doh fraid come take a lil jump with we man
Release all your stress and frustration
Jumping up in what is known as the People’s SteelBand
If the music moves you, and you start to jump and wave you hand
And you find yourself jamming up on someone elses woman
Doh Worrrry! She husband go understand
Cause if you doh have one, he go put a drink in your hand
In celebration of you becoming a true fan
Experiencing the sweet music of steel pan
From the one and only …….
