The steelpan fraternity is mourning the loss of former NGC head and musician Mark Loquan, whose contribution to the development of the movement has been invaluable. Loquan passed away on April 6 after a fight with cancer.
Pan Trinbago president Beverley Ramsey-Moore, in a release on April 7, said Loquan’s impact on the steelpan community is immeasurable.
“From his early days as a player with Silver Stars to becoming one of the most influential composers in the Panorama arena, his compositions, such as Fire and Steel, Colours Again, and Hooked, resonated with steelbands locally and internationally, winning Panorama titles and leaving a lasting legacy.”
