History/Culture of Steel Pan

---

Keli Ross-Ma'u presents a historical and cultural lecture while engaging the audience with his deep connection and understanding of the steel pan and the important role it has in community building. With a unique cultural background of Tongan/German descent, his experiences studying abroad in Trinidad (where the steel pan originated), and his many years of performing and teaching the steel pan, the audience will understand how this steel voice from the streets embodies the spirit of a people and has the ability to create, unite, and build all communities. Within this presentation a live demo of the steel pan can be performed as well as a screening of Keli's documentary "In The Panyard" depicting his time in Trinidad.
