Express. 1 Aug 1999: 18+. Print.https://hdl.handle.net/2139/38933“There are forces at work today trying to wrest from Trinbagonian Africans the ownership of the steelband”. This was stated emphatically by Kenrick Thomas, the author of a new book entitled Panriga— Tacarigua's Contribution to the Evolution of the Steelband Phenomenon in Trinidad and Tobago. Thomas also disagrees with those who claim that only people from Port of Spain contributed to steelpan and has written the book to show how the pan developed.© Trinidad Express Newspapers.
