Boogsie Sharpe & Friends - Pan In Yuh Ras

Review by Forest Tardibuono

Pan In Yuh Ras by Boogsie Sharpe & Friends is a stunning album that showcases the beauty and versatility of the steel pan. The album features a variety of traditional and contemporary Caribbean and Latin American rhythms, all expertly arranged and performed by Boogsie Sharpe and his talented group of musicians.

The album opens with the energetic and infectious "Pan In A Minor," a classic calypso tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the group explores a range of styles, from the Latin-infused "El Cumbanchero" to the soulful "Pan In A Minor (Reprise)".

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Pan In Yuh Ras," which features a haunting melody and intricate harmonies that showcase the steel pan's ability to convey emotion and depth. Another highlight is "Pan Woman," a tribute to the women who have made significant contributions to the steel pan community.
