This is an important documentary about the birth of the Steeldrums....the very root of the instrument of the 21st century, The Handpan!
I took the freedom of make a little remastering of the audio and video as well as synchronizing the parts that were in need. I believe its a little bit more pleasant to watch it now.
Here is the link to the original video with the name: How to make Steel Drums1956 film: Historical Moment of Steel Pan Creation & Tuning, from Trinidad & Tobago to N. America

I dont own the rights of this video and im publishing it on my channel just for the sake of the archive, not to mention its importance in the world music history.

Haha! I love that! Pete just picks it up and says "let's see what I can do on it." and knocks out a tune! A pity more people in this world aren't like Pete Seeger.

Pete Seeger doesn't just "knock out a tune." He gives a virtuoso performance of a section of a very famous Brazilian composition "Tico Tico no Fubá." But yes, that makes his humility all the more profound.

He seemed very respectful of their culture. I like that he talked about the great skill involved making and tuning the drums.

No law banning the "tamboo bamboo" was passed during World War 2. The drum was banned during the 19th. century, and it was replaced by bamboo, which was used until it was discarded in 1939.

This is so cool!...takes a lot of skill to make one...I was thinking of just getting a steel drum to set up and beat on during thunder storms..that's the only time I could play it outside and not cause my neighbors to band together and form a lynch mob.

+Mandakini I was born in 1958 and I think Felix is older than me. Perhaps his Spirit was in Trinidad before he was born ! Maybe I am wrong , but I feel he is a Trinidad Man.
