The
repertoire of Panduo offers much variety and flexibility.
Calypso and
Soca, the music styles most commonly associated
with steel drums, is more than adequately covered
in the book, with decades-old standards like "Yellowbird"
and "Jamaican Farewell." Panduo keeps
current, also, and includes in their repertoire
more contemporary songs by the likes of Trinidad
calypsonian Lord Kitchener, as well as Reggae standards
from the likes of Bob Marley. In addition to the
danceable Caribbean styles, Panduo also plays many
relaxed Latin jazz and pop tunes, a necessary element
for background music jobs like poolside parties,
cocktail receptions, and dinners. The group even
includes several seasonal favorites in their repertoire,
making them perfect for private or company holiday
parties.
As an optional enhancement to Panduo, the group
can be expanded to add a flute/saxaphone player
for a larger physical presence and an extra musical
dimension. If the scale of your event or budget
doesn't warrant a full duo or trio, a solo performance
by Gary Gibson (with CD rhythm section) is available
(two-hours, maximum).
Gary and Michael are both nationally
recognized steel drum performers with a combined 50
years of experience in the genre. Together, as Panduo,
they have played many hundreds of gigs...everything
from wedding receptions and backyard barbeques to
boat cruises and New Year's Eve in Hong Kong. <back
