Dr. Jit Samaroo (my fav arranger)

(24 February 1950 – 7 January 2016)
A Trinidadian composer and steelpan musician
| Year | Winning Song |

| 1984 | “Sweet Pan” |

Dr. Jit Samaroo was born in Surrey village, in Lopinot, Trinidad and Tobago, the seventh of 13 children in a family of Indian origin. At the age of 10, he joined the short-lived Village Boys pan-round-the-neck side. His mother, who loved playing the dholak, died in 1962, and so, young Jit, appointed the task of taking care of younger siblings, formed the Samaroo kids combo.
They were initially Parang players but by the age of 14, already a self-confessed “slave to steelpan”, Jit joined the Lever Brothers Canboulay Steelband. There he learned and mastered all the orchestra’s instruments. Recognising young Jit’s talent, the musical director Landeg White allowed him to help arrange the band’s calypsos, and also arranged for him to have music lessons.
He was hailed as the country’s most clinically accurate arranger, arranging one tune by the instrument and composing additional tunes to accompany it.
He was a versatile composer and occasional bass player in his family band the Samaroo Jets, Jit was awarded the Hummingbird Medal of Merit (Silver) in 1987, as well as the Chaconia Medal (silver) in 1995. In 2003, Samaroo was given an Honorary Doctorate from the University of the West Indies

Panorama History
The first official Trinidad Panorama was held during Carnival celebrations in 1963.[1] It was originally pioneered by Chairman of the Carnival Development Committee, Ronald Jay Williams, who gave the festival its name.[2][3] Similarly styled “Panorama” steelband competitions are also staged at Carnival time in other Caribbean communities.
Typically, each steelpan orchestra plays a popular Calypso that is arranged into a piece with original introductions and variations.
As part of the International Conference on Pan (ICP) in August 2015, Trinidad hosted the International Panorama Competition. The international edition of Panorama was held over a two-day period, 8-9 August 2015. The competition brought together participants from the approximately thirty-eight steelband-playing countries from around the world to compete against each other for the title of ICP Champions 2015.[4]
In 1979, Panorama in Trinidad was not held due to Rudolph Charles’ fight for higher recognition of pannists.
