Podcast: History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and CulturePublished On: Mon Dec 22 2025
Description: Steelpan Renaissance: A New Generation Revives Old Trinidad and Tobago Soul is a gritty cultural documentary that follows the quiet but determined return of steelpan culture among young people in Trinidad and Tobago. Set in rehearsal yards, schools, street corners, and community spaces, the series captures how a new generation reclaims an instrument many assumed was fading. Without nostalgia or ceremony, these players rebuild discipline, identity, and relevance through effort, conflict, and adaptation. The story examines how tradition survives when it must earn attention again, and what it costs to carry culture forward without freezing it in the past.
