New York, USA –
The widely anticipated compilation CD
from seven New York steelbands who participated in the extremely popular
2003 Vibrations in Steel concerts is now available. Titled Evolution
the CD features two selections from each of the participating New York bands. This is
the first time that the New York steelbands have come together to
create such a product. Moreover, the CD provides the listener with a
unique opportunity to hear New York steelpan performers outside of the
annual panorama competition.
The participating bands are
Adlib, Casym, Pantonic, Pan Ambassadors,
Pan sonatas, Utopia Pan Soul: The Next Generation and Women in Steel. The
bands’ selections showcase their ability to beautifully embrace musical and
cultural idioms outside of the traditional Caribbean music genre. Evolution

steelbands continue to aggressively move to the forefront of successful entrepreneurial
musical ventures.In addition to being
treated to a varied cross section of musical interpretations of great
musical hits, the listeners are allowed to easily hear the tonal
differences and unique personalities of each band. Evolution,
which showcases the New York urban steel orchestra sound and attitude
which is unlike any other, will soon be a central part of the collections
of world music lovers.
