The Min­istry of Cul­ture and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment has ex­tend­ed con­grat­u­la­tions to Joshua “De Pan Man” Re­grel­lo, whose Steel­pan play­ing marathon made his­to­ry.

On De­cem­ber 27, 2024 Re­grel­lo be­gan his 31-hour per­for­mance at WACK 90.1 FM’s stu­dio in San Fer­nan­do, where var­i­ous lo­cal celebri­ties and fans cheered him on through­out the jour­ney.

In a re­lease com­mem­o­rat­ing the pan­nist, the Min­istry added, "this ex­tra­or­di­nary ac­com­plish­ment sets a new glob­al bench­mark for mu­si­cal en­durance and shines a spot­light on Trinidad and To­ba­go’s Na­tion­al Mu­si­cal In­stru­ment, on the world stage."
