Shaka Steel

In one concert, you can be taken across the Caribbean and back! Shaka Steel is the university's popular Steel Drum Band. Formed in 2001, the 15-member ensemble performs the lively, fast-paced music of the Caribbean and Latin America on steel drums or "pans," native instruments of Trinidad, creating a totally tropical ambience with cool grooves, good vibes, and great entertainment. This unique group plays a fun style of crowd favorites, such as the samba, reggae, spicy calypso, and rumba. They can also slow it down with inspiring versions of modern-day hymns, such as "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing." This Caribbean combo is a delight for any audience and is sure to make them move in their seats.
