Ivory Tower Dwelling Academics Who Hustle Pan Raise the Bar of Cultural Theft in the Global Scam
An interesting and very telling uproar has developed recently in the online steelpan community surrounding some very unbecoming remarks made by Kristian Paradis (Director of the University of Delaware Steelband) in response to Freddy Harris III tagging him in a post. Mr. Paradis was promptly rebuked by many in the online steelpan community and was forced to issue a public apology. Although Mr. Paradis may have apologized in order to save face, it does not appear likely that his steelpan checks will start bouncing anytime soon (unlike the many Trinidad Panorama 2016 performers) since the University of Delaware employs him...
The National Carnival Commission's 666 Subliminal Logo is Representative of How Low They Go While Promoting the Devil's Feast of Carnival
With this being our first article of the Gregorian new year, it is quite appropriate that we shift into a new gear. With the Handpan Mafia in full retreat mode and no further Satanic Handpan subjects in sight as of the moment, we would like to turn our wide steelpan spectacles towards the Mecca in order to make some sense out of all of the madness and scandal surrounding PanTrinbago and the fact that thousands of pannists who performed in Panorama 2016 have yet to be paid checks that will not bounce. Although the individual performance fees only amount to...
Dear Handpan Mafia, Thank You For Making KaribPAN Public Enemy #1 and Keeping Our Name On The Tips of Your Tongues
Author: Rudy Kendall handpan history handpan scams
It goes without saying that the year 2016 has been a very wild ride as far as those who regularly follow online handpan discussions. Now that we are closing out the Gregorian calendar year, the online handpan roller coaster ride continues as crazy and suspenseful as ever, roaring into 2017. In the annals of handpan history however, 2016 will inevitably go down in the steelpan history books as the year the Handpan Mafia and the general handpan community were exposed as the sham and scam that they are. And KaribPAN has been the foremost author and documenter of the Handpan...
The Relationship Between Handpans, Hinduism and the White Supremacist Steelpan Hegemony
Given the multiple articles that KaribPAN has published this year concerning the neo-colonization of the steelpan instrument vis-a-vis the Hang/handpan, it is clear that white supremacy is the underlying ideology of the Handpan Mafia and the overwhelming majority of the members of the wider online ''handpan community''. If subliminal Nazi swastika logos courtesy of a German by the name of Jeremy ''Germy'' Arndt, and KKK Party Veterans logos by Mana Steel (from Israel of all places) were not enough to convince our readers of our initial premise that the ''handpan community'' is by and large a white supremacist cult, then those unconvinced...
The Hard Case Technologies ''666'' Laced Triquetra and More Subliminal Satanic Tricks in the Handpan Market
It is readily apparent that among the so called ''handpan community'' that there is a recurring theme of one embarking upon one's own personal journey through the discovery of the handpan. To be sure, the self styled ''handpan community'' that congregates online and consists of members who read and participate in various handpan discussion forums is not an accurate representation of the many handpan consumers who do not read or participate in online discussion forums centered around the handpan. However, this idea of the individual ''handpan journey'' and self-discovery remain at the forefront of the consciousness of the collective handpan community...
