According to the liner notes, \"It appeals to the kids, the grown ups and the old.... [It] has the power to instill in you the urge to wriggle like a snake, to jump like the goatiest of goats and tip-toe like... Pavlova.\" the band has played at every public square in the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Liner notes provide a brief history of the development of the steel band.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Matilda \u003cbr\u003e1.2 On Parade \u003cbr\u003e1.3 West Indians Take Over \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Master Planner \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Trinidad Castillane \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Brown Skin Girl \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Merry Meringue \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Merengue Boom \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Mama Gave You Something\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Trinidad Panharmonic Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32456081211463,"sku":"16945364","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506615.jpg?v=1747734792","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/trinidad-panharmonic-orchestra-steel-band","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
