"contexts other than those with which it is stereotypically associated"
[edit ]For many years now there have been attempts to use the steelpan in various contexts other than those with which it is stereotypically associated.[citation needed ] The first known use of steelband in a theatrical performance (outside of Trinidad and Tobago) was in Harold Arlen's 1954 Broadway musical House of Flowers , in which Enid Mosier's Trinidad Steel Band performed in several songs. British composer Daphne Oram was the first composer to electronically manipulate the sound of the steelpan after recording a band (probably Russell Henderson's Steelband) in 1960.[1] The first use of pan in a commercial pop record was by The Hollies in 1967 with "Carrie Anne".[2] Loggins and Messina feature steel drums on the song "Vahevala" from their 1971 album Sittin' In .[3]

This section is written from a white gaze and assumes that the things that matter are the things that happen outside of TT. Statements like The first known use of steelband in a theatrical performance (outside of Trinidad and Tobago)
make this very clear. It's pretty much a collection of "the first white people to do x with pan" anecdotes. As things stand in the article, I don't think this belongs. Guettarda (talk) 00:18, 23 January 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
