Steelpan and soca at Kingston beach this Thursday

Steelpan lovers and soca enthusiasts are set for an unforgettable experience as 592 Events & Entertainment, in collaboration with The Kunjaz Group, presents Pan, Brass & Soca.

This highly anticipated event will take place on Thursday, October 03 at Kingston Beach, promising an exhilarating blend of steelpan, brass, and soca music that captures the vibrant spirit of the Caribbean.

Supported by Republic Bank (Guyana) Limited and the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport, Pan, Brass & Soca will showcase some of the finest musical talents from the region.

The Guyana Police Force Steel Orchestra, Kunjaz Steel Ensemble, and Pan Groove are among those set to mesmerise audiences with their expertise in steelpan. Joining them are Trinidad & Tobago’s NGC La Brea Nightingales, renowned for their excellence in pan music.

In addition to local acts, the event features performances from Rodney Small of St. Vincent & the Grenadines and Epic Tone from the USA, both of whom will infuse the evening with a unique mix of traditional and contemporary styles.

The acclaimed Temperature Band from Trinidad & Tobago will further energise the crowd with their dynamic brass sounds, enhancing the carnival atmosphere.

The lineup is further enriched by an exciting array of soca performances from Guyana’s celebrated artists, including reigning Soca Monarch Carlvin Burnett, Nekeita, Omaiah Hall, OKC, and Timothy Roberts.

These artists will be backed by The Heatwave Band, promising a night filled with vibrant rhythms and high-energy entertainment.

Hosting the event will be a talented duo: emerging local host Gabriella and popular Trinidadian entertainer Daniel Loveless, known for his lively stage presence.

Andrew Tyndall, the event’s organiser, expressed his vision: “We wanted to create an experience that not only showcases the incredible musical talents across the Caribbean but also reflects the unity and cultural pride that make our region so unique. This fusion of steelpan, brass, and soca on one stage promises to be an unforgettable experience for everyone.”
