| Steelpan |  | Steelpan (also known as steeldrums or pans) is a musical instrument and a form of music originating in Trinidad and Tobago. During WWII, tamboo bamboo bands, which usually performed during Trinidad's Carnival began using steel drums discarded by the US military to make advanced versions of their instruments. Ellie Mannette is credited as the first person to use an oil drum in 1946. By the late 1940s the music had spread to neighbouring islands. The image shows a steelband in Port of Spain in the early 1950s. |
