Panoramaist: Afropan Steelband

Panoramaist is the Toronto shoe-gazer’s worst enemy. In the virtual panoramas, created by Tony Makepeace, you can look up, down, side to side, in, and out—pretty much every direction but back at yourself, which would be kind of creepy.

Click the image above to jump to the panorama of the Afropan Steelband, shot at the foot of Jefferson Avenue at about 9:45 p.m. Sunday night. Afropan Steelband was rehearsing for this weekend’s upcoming Caribbean Carnival parade, and turned the session into a public event. Beer and food and T-shirts were sold, and the band played as loud as they wanted, since no one lives anywhere close by.

    Are they practicing down there again this week?

  • TorontoistEditors

    Apparently they are, though we weren't able to confirm exact times. We'll definitely update if we find out more!

    Merci!

    I happened upon them practicing down there years ago when I lived in Parkdale (I take it this is “their spot” to warm up for the parade)… the sound of steel drums through the night air is hypnotic…
