Pan Montuno Steel Drum Band


Pan Montuno is an instrumental journey that infuses melodic Caribbean steel drum music with innovative Latin rhythms. Original compositions by Derek Smith offer a creative exploration into musical genres such as Latin jazz, calypso, samba and reggae. The band draws much of its inspiration from, and performs songs by legendary musicians such as Cal Tjader, Bob Marley, Harry Belafonte, Tito Puente, Andy Narell and others. The sounds produced by Derek Smith and Pan Montuno evoke a positive spirit for all those who listen.
