The Association of Caribbean States (ACS) joins the people of Trinidad and Tobago in celebrating World Steel Pan Day, a day dedicated to honouring the rich cultural heritage and unique artistry of the steel pan—the national instrument of Trinidad and Tobago and a symbol of Caribbean creativity and resilience.

The steelpan is a remarkable instrument and a powerful representation of the Caribbean's ability to transform challenges into triumphs. Born out of resourcefulness and innovation, the steel pan has become an iconic symbol of unity and cultural pride, transcending borders and inspiring people worldwide.

As we commemorate this day, we recognize the steelpan's invaluable contribution to the cultural identity of Trinidad and Tobago and the Greater Caribbean. Its rhythms have become synonymous with the vibrant spirit of our region, and its melodies continue to bring joy and connect communities across the globe.

May the music of the steel pan continue to resonate, celebrating our shared history and inspiring future generations.
