<holidayfyi-glossary slug="steel-pan"></holidayfyi-glossary>A musical instrument and associated genre originating in Trinidad and Tobago, made from oil drum heads tuned to produce a full chromatic scale. Steel pan is central to Trinidad Carnival and has become a symbol of Caribbean cultural identity. Pan orchestras (steel bands) compete at Panorama, the prestigious annual competition held during Carnival season, performing elaborate arrangements of calypso and soca music.
