notes
The Toucans, based in tropical Seattle, have been playing Pan around the Pacific Northwest for over 10 years, and there's no end in sight. Their high-energy rhythms and eclectic yet ever tasteful musical sensibilities will get your body moving and your spirit soaring!
The Toucans are proud to present their newest full-length album, Steel Drums: Old & New.
Invented in Trinidad in the late 1930's, the Steel Drum led a musical revolution which carried it around the world and into the Pacific Northwest.
Now, the first steel drum band to originate in this area brings you a retrospective of the early days of Pan, the great songs of the Caribbean, and a choice selection of all-time favorites!
Featuring such Toucan Classics as Brazil and Jump In The Line, this 60-minute album also contains many great calypsos from the Forties and Fifties. And that's just the "Old" side!
The "New" side of the album is chock-full of more great music, from Van Morrison to Harry Belafonte, from Henry Mancini to King Henry the Eighth. It just doesn't get any better than this, Toucan Fans!
