Excerpt from the CD sleeve Beginning life
as the "Dead End Kids" in the early 1940's the Witco Desperadoes
Steel Orchestra stands today a proud icon of our indigenous
music industry, overlooking the capital city of Port of Spain
from atop the hills of Laventille.
In its over sixty year history, and under the guidance of
such personages as Wilfred Harrison, George Yeates, the
Legendary Rudolph Charles and later Beverly Griffith, Clive
Bradley, Pat Bishop, Bertie Marshall, Lincoln Noel and Robert
Greenidge, to name a few, the band became one of the finest
steel orchestras in the world.
Its reputation for excellence was acclaimed far and wide and
in 1992 the band was the recipient of the Chaconia Gold Medal
for long and meritorious service in the sphere of culture, and
were acclaimed "Band of the Century" by Pan Trinbago in 1999. |
