read moreThe Steeldrum, or "Pan" as it is colloquially termed, was invented on the Caribbean island of Trinidad some time during the 1940s. During the 1700s, British colonists had brought slaves to the island from West Africa, from what is now Ghana and Nigeria. The slaves brought with them as much of their culture as they could manage, including the tradition of drumming. Obviously the island did not provide the same materials with which to make and maintain drums as in Africa, and the slaves looked for substitutes.
