The Ministry of Creative Industries, Innovation and the Orange Economy expresses profound sadness at the passing of musician Eduardo Pyle, leader of the Soca Monarch Band and long-standing member of the All Star Calypso Band.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\n

\u201c Mr. Pyle established special relationships with everyone whom he came in contact.\u00a0 He approached his duties with professionalism of the highest standard and provided exceptional leadership to those with whom he worked and mentored.\u00a0 His loss will be felt by all those who knew and worked with him,\u201d a statement from the Ministry reads.<\/p>\n

\n

Chairman of the Festivals Commission, Maurice Merchant said that Eduardo was a calm soul who played a pivotal role in the development of soca and calyso music in Antigua and Barbuda.\u00a0 \u201cFor Eduardo, what mattered most was the delivery of the most impeccable quality of music during our annual summer festival.\u00a0 He was the guiding wisdom to many young musicians during the over two decades of service to culture and the arts.\u00a0 His loss is irreplaceable,\u201d Merchant said.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe express our warmest wishes and deepest sympathies to his wife, children and extended family and to those who knew Eduardo and loved him.\u00a0 It is our hope that the cherished memories will help to ease the pain of loss.\u00a0 May the soul of Eduardo Pyle rest well with the good ancestors.\u201d<\/p>\n
