Toco Beach Steelpan

Specializing in tropical music performed with vocals accompanied by steelpans, flute and marimba, Toco Beach evokes listeners' most blissful moments in the sun, caressed by cool tropical breezes with bare feet in turquoise waters.​ Steelpans (also known as “steeldrums”) make any event more fun. They’re instruments built from 55-gallon oil drums, originally from the islands of Trinidad & Tobago in the Southern Caribbean. Their sound has a unique power to instantly make the aura around any gathering feel more festive. Toco Beach performs calypso and tropical classics such as Harry Belafonte’s “Jump In The Line,” “Yellowbird” and “Maryanne,” making it perfect for "luaus" and beach parties, of course; but its joyful music works equally well at events that aren’t specifically branded with a “tropical” theme such as pool parties, cook-outs, receptions and even corporate events.
