| Introduction | One of the most gifted young percussionist from the twin Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Modupe Folasade Onilu has a dream of taking percussion to a different level in his island. Growing up in the “ghetto” of Laventille, spending most of his early musical experiences around steel bands like Laventille Serenaders and Desperadoes, he had a great passion for steel drums. He is currently doing an associates degree in music and performance at the COSTAATT university in Trinidad as a steel drum major. Son of master percussionist Jajah Oga Onilu, learning how to make and play instruments never seen to most of the percussion community, has opened doors for him in the music scene in Trinidad. |
