project BAM! 2

ive always been a lover of the sound of the steelpan drum. its origin is trinidad. the drum part of the name comes from the oil drums used in their production. the steel drum came into existence from the enslaved africans in trinidad who used discarded material as their only means to make musical instruments. below is the classic moonlight sonata played by steel drums. i cant help but think about slaves playing their hearts out on these drums under the moonlight after a days hard work. tears streaming from their eyes...
