Sons of Steel Plus at Kaiso Blues Cafe on Sunday

by

20160128

The La Pierre broth­ers (Noel, Earl Jr, and Olu­ji­mi) will be ap­pear­ing in Sons of Steel Plus at the Kaiso Blues Caf�, 85 Wood­ford Street, New­town ,on Jan­u­ary 31, at 6.30 pm.

The Sons of Steel con­cert was first held in Toron­to five years ago, giv­en the need to share with au­di­ences their artistry on the steel­pan. The con­cert has con­tin­ued to de­vel­op and hope­ful­ly in years will fea­ture oth­er sons of the in­stru­ment. The La Pierre broth­ers will play along the band Faces, fea­tur­ing Wayne Guer­ra, Lea­son Ja­cobs and Andy Gar­cia, who toured with Noel in Chi­na, Shang­hai five years ago.

Noel, Earl Jr and Olu­ji­mi La Pierre all be­gan play­ing the na­tion­al in­stru­ment at a young age. En­cour­aged by fam­i­ly and close friends, the sons of well-known pan­nist Earl La Pierre took their pas­sion, and trans­formed it in­to a ca­reer.

The Sons of Steel Plus con­cert is brand­ed as "the al­ter­na­tive steel­pan event for this Car­ni­val sea­son."

Said Noel: "This event is not on­ly about the La Pierre broth­ers, but it's about en­hanc­ing and adding val­ue to­wards our cul­tur­al pack­age here in Trinidad and To­ba­go. It is demon­strat­ing to the wider pub­lic that there is an­oth­er side of steel­pan­men and women that can al­so be en­joyed."

The plus at this year's con­cert is a spe­cial guest per­for­mance from Ge­off Bournes, a renowned sax­o­phon­ist, Trinidad-born but based in Toron­to. He will share the stage once again with Noel whom he met on a tour at the Toron­to Jazz Du Mau­ri­er the­atre in 1994 per­form­ing with the band Cal­abash. Oth­er lo­cal stars sched­uled to per­form are the In­cred­i­ble My­ron B, Kizzie Ruiz, KV Charles, Pe­dro Leza­ma and one of Trinidad's new break­out artistes Chingee. (DMC)
