Pannist sets Guinness World Record

[The_Honourable]

Trinidad and Tobago has been placed on the world map once more thanks to pannist Joshua Regrello.

Regrello also earned himself not just a place in history but a title in the Guinness World Records on Saturday (December 28) after playing tunes for a record 30 hours on the steel pan.

Regrello began the challenge–Longest Marathon For Playing Steelpan– at 6am on Friday and created the historical feat around 12:30pm today.

Along the way he was accompanied and encouraged by several of his friends and entertainers including Rome, Violinist ‘Mr Strings’, Soca Artist ‘Voice’ and DJ Ultra Simmo.

Regrello reportedly had to stop for a mandatory 30-minute break earlier in the day as prescribed by the record company. Still, with this aside, he played non-stop for the duration of the period and was seen using one hand to continue his music while he grabbed a quick bite or a drink of water.

He also gathered the support and won the admiration of thousands of citizens throughout the journey and received accolades from the government including the Ministry of Tourism and Culture and the Ministry of Youth Development and National Service.

Joshua Regrello has done more for the young people of T&T than you will ever do in your life.

One day you will figure it out.

The moment the world record was officially established…

Joshua 'D Pan Man' Regrello plays David Rudder’s “High Mas” as the final 10 seconds are counted down and he sets the world record for 30 hours of playing the steelpan, non-stop.

Joshua ‘D Pan Man’ Regrello has ended his record setting run at exactly 31 hours. He then played the National Anthem of Trinidad and Tobago to end his historic achievement.

Arts & Culture Minister Randall Mitchell congratulated him saying, "You made us proud."

He also received accolades from Pan Trinbago, whose president, Beverly Ramsey-Moore stated: “Joshua’s passion, resilience, and unyielding determination are an inspiration to all.”

Nobody mentioned that he broke anything, he is the first to set the record recognized by Guinness

Wonderful. Good for him. yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah

Meanwhile







The last musical instrument to be invented, originating from right here, that's widely known to be synonymous with this country, to this day, is NOT recognized as the national instrument of this country. Not by the government, not internationally.

Do whatever you want with that

[alfa]

Congratulations to him. It's probably the longest anyone has played any instrument for or close to it

[sMASH]

As a former shift worker , 30hrs is reallll strain on ur brain and body .
It will be good for marketing ... Better than travel with Zoe taking black pudding in PoS ghetto ? Who knows

Pan officially became the national instrument in July of this year with the passing and assent of The National Musical Instrument Bill 2024.

I still get your point tho, this should have been done over 50 years ago.
