Our Story
During the height of the 2020 COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, Barbados-based Trinbagonian pannist Nevin Roach had a stroke of genius, after encountering live entertainment on social media. As a result, a virtual solo steelpan competition, PanoGrama, was born and hosted live on Instagram @inev88 during April 24 - May 3.
The concept for the historic event was simple; a panorama vibe on Instagram, hence the name "PanoGrama".
Contributing to the artform; helping pannists ply their trade; fresh entertainment for a starved steelpan community; pannists to earn revenue; youth and cultural development; and a platform from which to showcase pannists’ talent, globally, were focal points.
The event attracted regional press, regional and international pan governing bodies, some celebrity pannists, and some affluent pan companies in its first year. It also paved the way for PanMotion, a concert series and together, these two events were the foundation for a new steelpan entertainment company; PanoGrama Entertainment.
