Review by Manikanta Kamatam

Solo Harmonites Steel Orchestra's latest album, How You Sweet So, is a delightful and refreshing addition to the world of steelpan music. The album features a unique blend of traditional and contemporary Caribbean rhythms, showcasing the band's versatility and musical prowess.

From the opening track, "Pan In A Minor," listeners are transported to the vibrant streets of Trinidad and Tobago, where steelpan music is an integral part of the culture. The band's arrangements are intricate and dynamic, with each instrument playing a vital role in creating a rich and full sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Sugar Bum Bum," a classic calypso tune that the band infuses with their own unique style. The song is a perfect example of the band's ability to take traditional Caribbean music and make it their own, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Another highlight of the album is "Rhythm Section Jam," a high-energy instrumental track that showcases the band's incredible musicianship. The rhythm section is tight and precise, providing the perfect foundation for the soaring melodies of the steelpan.
