Caribbean Southern Stars is persevering! It will be a gradual growth to the band we were, though the spirits remain high!

Our mighty Tōtara Ros Demas of the Caribbean Southern Stars Steelband has fallen💕

We are heartbroken but we already can hear the clinking red wine glasses and the sounds of the cello pans! We know our beloved Ros is in a place she loves. Rest in steelpan heaven dearest Ros. Arohanui.

Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Courtney Leiba. We will always remember the love you had for the steel pan and your unwavering support for those who wanted to learn.

Happy holidays from Caribbeanz! It's been quite a year for the band, though the support and generosity from the community has been immense ❤️

A great segment to share to the communities of the inception of CaribbeaNZ and the creation of the steel pan featuring members of the band.

"Everthing's gone, except the band members" A fire gutted an Auckland sports club and took with it all the instruments of a Caribbean steelpan orchestra that also used the space. In this episode we chat to Camille Nakhid about what next for the 18-year-old cultural group?

Help us Support the Caribbeanz Southern Stars Steelband rebuild and keep the Caribbean music alive in Aotearoa Support Caribbeanz Southern Stars Steelband. Fire destroyed all instruments, equipment, and more. Donate to help rebuild & revive the music.

Thank you from the CSS whanau to the community who have reached out. We're still coming to terms with this loss, though the support shown is immense. We can only look forward and hopefully with support bring the band back to life once more.

A devastating day for our rugby club community and pan community within NZ. Long standing Marist Saints Rugby League Club was engulfed in flames this morning.

This club was our rehearsal and equipment site, resulting in all pans being destroyed.
