Difficulty: Easy (great for elementary school steel bands)
"Port of Spain" is the capital city of Trinidad. This is an important place in the story of the steelpan's creation. This is soca chart, a prominent music style in Trinidad & Tobago. Letter A is a unison section to get the whole group started. Letter B introduces a melody in the jumbie jam and tenor parts. The double seconds and triple guitars introduce a simple strumming pattern from Trinidad and Tobago. The bass part at B glues everything together. Letter C is a call and response section between high pans and low pans, which is found in many Panorama steel band arrangements. This is a great chart to teach students the unique qualities of soca music.
