The Handpan + a Digeridoo = Cultural Appropriation x 2

The steelpan via the hang/handpan is not the only sacred, cultural institution of an instrument that has been co-opted, colonized and corrupted by Europeans on a wide scale. As I have discussed this particular matter in previous blog posts as it pertains to the handpan, I will add another example which proves my point about the erroneous sense of entitlement that most people of European descent have when it comes to culturally misappropriating the sacred cultural institutions of indigenous cultures globally.  The digeridoo/yidaki comes immediately to mind as an instrument that is intimately connected to the the handpan community at...

From Russia with Hate: The Swastika Steel Tongue Drum

During the past couple of weeks, KaribPAN has launched a focused campaign with the aim of exposing the rampant satanic/nazi/pagan symbolism within the handpan industry. Our blog articles have been subsequently banned and censored from numerous online discussion groups as it seems that as always, the truth hurts and is apparently too much to bear for the Handpan Mafia. As they and their mindless minions cannot refute our claims based on the merits, they choose to take the cowardly way out by censoring us. I may remind these cowards that at no point in time has KaribPAN ever censored any...

Picture the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a ''steelpan player'': sandy beach, tropical atmosphere in the Caribbean, and most importantly, a Black West Indian person comes to mind. Now picture the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about a ''handpan player'': A Grungy, hippy person of European descent or origin comes directly to mind! I have seen many handpan players, and not one of them was Black, much less from the Caribbean, but many of them were grungy hippies!         Since KaribPAN lauched our official website and...
