Answer#1: Trinidad and Tobago or Barbados but our steel pan
thing just finished. T&T has the most though
Answer#2: Without a doubt Trinidad and Tobago. Next years
carnival is 19th & 20th February, and just
before this there is the Panorama steel pan
competition which is amazing. Trinidad all stars
and Phase 2 are my favorites. Also in Tobago you
have Sunday school in Bucco every Sunday with
steel bands from around 8pm - 11pm, and then a dj
after that playing all the latest Reggae,
Dancehall & Soca. If you want to go and need
somewhere to stay - check out my website

Answer#3: well my friend u went to the wrong island 4 steel
bands! jamacia is known 4 the dancehall music not
steel bands. so yes u were in the wrong places.
with that said, the best place 4 u 2 go is
trinidad! thats where you'll find the best! with
lots of night spots hosting compitions. but the
island itself is well known 4 their many bands. so
check it out. its exactly what ur looking 4!
Answer#4: I have to agree that Trinidad and Tobago have some
of the best steel bands in the Caribbean.
Answer#5: Try a carrib cruise next time,at
Barbados+St.Vincent steel bands play at the ports.
Also some days we had them on board.
Answer#6: Trinidad and Tobago, home of "steel
pans" and soca.
Answer#7: The likelihood is that it is Trinidad and Tobago
because they have an annual Carnival in which
Steel Bands play a major part.Dates of the
Carnival 2007 19th & 20th February 2008 4th
& 5th February 2009 23rd & 24th February
2010 15th & 16th February
Answer#8: Manhattan.
