In Trinidad the word Kaiso is still used by some of the older generation. Olli in this case is not a person's name, but is the acronym for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, a wonderful adult education program in Nashville, TN. I am lucky enough to teach three Olli Steel Bands. This song was written for the beginning level band in 2014.Pedagogical Points/Performance Notes-The Intro- gives your beginning students a chance to work on unison rolls. Though I usually prefer not to have many rolls in the bass pans, having them roll in the intro gets the entire band working on the same technique. Evenness of sound and roll speed can be introduced to your band. Generally, the higher the note, the faster the roll. Low notes require less hand speed.
