Hammered Steel 
Trinidadian Steel Drum Music
Terrence Cameron & the Steel Kings Cassette Order # OTP-945
From his early childhood in the mid 40's, Terrence Cameron
vividly remembers hearing steel band music in his home in
Trinidad. In 1956, he joined a steel band called The Bell
Boys and learned to play the double tenors, the principle
melodic pan set in a steel orchestra. In 1963, he formed his
first band for which he made the entire set of drums. He is
now one of a handful of highly sought-after steel drum makers
on the east coast. With his seven member band, The Steel Kings,
their repertoire is diverse and filled with clear, crisp and
rhythmic harmonies. While other bands have lost some of the
traditional rhythms in favor of intricate melodies and harmonies,
the music of the Steel Kings remains, first and foremost,
danceable!
