The steel band he worked with in Trinidad and Tobago, Republic Bank Exodus Steel Orchestra, won the panorama competition this year.
Congratulations are indeed in order. An Antigua making waves in the land of steel pan.
I admire you a lot, Khan.
Please tell the people what you did in Trinidad. You did not arrange the music for Exodus. You conducted the band. Did a good job too.
