About Us

Tropical Heatwave Steelpan Combo....is an original and unique Caribbean music ensemble made up of musicians directly from the Caribbean isles of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago; and Guadaloupe, in the French Caribbean. It is a given that we always surprise and delight our audiences. We are the type of band one would find in the top hotels in the Caribbean, playing not only for visitors to the islands but also for night-clubbing locals. Consequently the group place great store in "entertaining" in the old fashioned sense of the word.
We do not simply set up some steelpans and, heads down, play whatever we feel like just so long as the "tourists" hear the sounds of steelpans. No, we go lots further than that in that we play an exciting mix of contemporary and traditional, with loads of audience participation. We play for the people. We involve them and interact with them, joke with them and invite them to participate with us. If that means coming onstage and shaking some maracas etc then it's all in the game of having fun.
