Our pan is very important to culture

Tue, Aug 3, 2010

Editor: I listened attentively to the Minister of Culture on the Agency for Public Information (API) program on Tuesday, July 27, 2010 speaking about the “cultural exchanges of the ALBA Cultures” which was very enlightening.{{morE}} Unfortunately; she did not mention our “pan”.

I strongly believe that our “pan” is a very important aspect of our culture and would appreciate having this phenomenal aspect of our culture passed on to our ALBA Affiliates.

What I would further appreciate is having some recordings of, not just the senior talented players but, our juniors panists. This, coupled with pictures of this unique culture, can then be passed on to the cultural archives of the World.

Pan is here to stay and we “must” show cultural enthusiasts what we have and, if possible, bet some Builders and Tuners to do some work in their countries as this will be a big boost for our culture.

Additionally, I would look forward with enthused ears to get the input of other enthusiasts on this topic and thank you very much for your kindest support.

Culturally yours
