Want some unique fun? You should have heard the
steel drum pans
in this fun band. Calysto Steel Band. One of Calgarys most unusual entertainment outfits is the Calysto Steelband. Here you would have found a supersize combo of musicians performing on the traditional steel drums of the Caribbean Sea and its island nations.
Until late 2010, this outfit performed mostly at privately arranged engagements. Sometimes we played public
Calgary music venues
such as neighbourhood pubs around the city of Calgary. See schedule and maps below.
Calysto Steelband has travelled to Barbados on several occasions to play in local venues. Places such as the Holetown musical festival and Barbados beach front restaurants.
The bands that play steel drum pans form a great part of Barbados nightlife. I have personally been overwhelmed by the quality of the entertainment in this part of the world.
Have a look at some steel
drum pictures.
The band was great fun playing reggae music, well known and
ethnic
tunes. The fun included soca, latin, rock n roll and calypso all from one steel band. You could also enjoy some Bossa Nova and other tropical styles.
If you had a chance to see this band live, you would not have been disappointed in the quality of the performance. They occasionally played public performances as well.
