Track 5 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.

Euphoria is a piece of music from the Caribbean. It is played by a traditional steel band. Each instrument is made from a 55 gallon oil drum and is called a 'pan'. The top of the oil drum is hammered and beaten to create a concave shape and marked into sections that correspond to specific pitches. The top, when complete, is removed from the drum at a depth which will determine the instruments' over all pitch: a tenor pan, a guitar pan or a bass pan.

(In a music session listen to tracks 5 and 6 and list the similarities and differences of both pieces)
