Phase II even when they don't win the the competition on the night always move the art of pan forward. Their performances are consistently indelible and memorable.
AWESOME Phase II, and a cleaner performance than Semi's. They were only a few pts behind the deserved winners Desperadoes! I hope Boogsie continues with his own chunes...this should inspire him to do so!
This is the best performance of this group this season and wonder how Desperados beat them with that their performance I saw. With love from Lagos Nigeria. You guys are my winners
I did not Know Nigerians were into Steel Band Music like that, Im happy happy to Kow this. Think Im going to make a backflip about it, hope Ii dont bust my head open.
I never agree with the placement of PHASE 2 This band brings across something no other band does. GREAT JOB PHASE 2 & BOOGSIE. Hard to believe they didn’t move a spot up from semis.
Awesome, wonderful, great arranged‼️ I heard it at the venue on the day and I've watched this video many times♪ You are the champion for me. Thank you for the happier music than anyone!!
This is an art and age has nothing to do with it either. Just watch at the young man in the middle play his heart out. Then the very tall man at the end to the right. Amazing, and this warms my ❤
Well arranged, you can hear every pan, bass line sweet. I won't comment on the judging other than Renegades could not have won this year from hearing the other bands. Just my opinion.
I kind of agree with Tobago. From the prelims I've been saying the first half of the performance need some work. Some excitement but it wasnt there. Next year for sure. Continue doing your thing Boogsie!!
Boogsie and Zanda were the only arrangers who didn't plagiarize their arrangements with copying and pasting others' tunes. That I think has gotten out of hand and needs to stop.
To be honest I thought it was a well played tune but boring by today's standard. Boogsie will never win a panorama again if he plays like this. This is music festival stuff and not Panorama style. The problem here is people are getting caught up in the Boogsie bandwagon and not really considering how dated the music really sounds.
Same old same old. Boogsie hasn't offered up an original arrangement since Birthday Party; he finds a vamp and sits on it for too long. Being a low pan in his band must be so boring! I'm a Renegades fan, but they didn't get it in the air this year. Supernovas and All-Stars had it for sure. But my patience for Boogsie is just about up. I have a hard time hearing what other people are hearing in Boogsie. Maybe its sweet, maybe its easy, but he never had the orchestral complexity of Jit or the energy of All Stars, the aggression of Exodus, the lay-back of Bradley with Despers.
When you say and original arrangement what exactly you mean cause myself as well as other persons who listen to all pan bands could tell you that each and every panorama Phase 2 pan groove is the only band that brings something different each year. The problem with judges of recent times is that they tend to judge on the excitement and not the musical artisry that the bands bring to the stage. It's in my honest opinion that Lennox Boogsie Shape is the only arranger who can go overseas in any musical show etc and represent trinidad and tobago on a strong note. After him would be bradley, and zander tbvh.
@@shaquillemcclean50 Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste then. I just hear Boogsie recycling himself; he finds the same moment to groove, he hangs onto it for a long time, he gets himself from one place in the arrangement to the next in the same way. I guess I'll turn it back to you, though. What are you hearing in Boogsie's arrangements that is new or exciting? I think he did some great work in his heyday, and Birthday Party, Misbehave, Woman is Boss are groundbreaking. But since that era, I've been waiting for something in Boogsie's music that moves me in a new way, and I'm just not getting it.
@@didakeepa Boogsie's voicings are fairly simplified, down to two or three voicings at once. I'm not as die-hard for Renegades as I used to be, but I am always die-hard for Jit, and one aspect of his music that appealed to me was that he would voice 4-5 distinct parts at once. This gets at their individual arranging styles (and this is something that might be a personal preference, and isn't a judgment of one style being better or worse than the other): Jit, from my understanding, arranged at the piano and at the score. He worked on the piece by setting the voicings first. Boogsie is more jazz than that, he comes to his arrangements through being in the panyard, through hearing the parts being played. One's naturally going to end up with more complex orchestral voicing than the other.
This by far has to be the most disjointed arrangement I've herd. A bunch of pieces that just doesn't fit. It's like trying to patch an old pair of jeans with every bit of rag available, including rice bag. This man has to step aside and give someone else a chance. He is losing it.
