Point Fortin Borough Day: Then, Now and Tomorrow: Was the Steelpan Born Here?

Abstract

This article argues that Point Fortin has a very strong claim as the birthplace of the steelpan, and when the story is pieced together, it seems to make quite a lot of sense. This version of the story of pan being proposed is that some people from the North were introduced to the sound of the steel drum, which they took back to Port-of-Spain.
