<This Steelband is a twelve-piece seventies party band, consisting of Surinames and Trinidadian musicians.
Since Surinam was still part of The Netherlands in those days, the name of the band abroad was The Original Trinidad Steel Band and released two albums as such (Beautiful Caribbean and Caribbean Steel & Show on Hansa, with Frank Farian as their producer), apart from their three Dutch albums. Their most interesting Dutch album is Funky Limbo (EMI, 1978), which was produced by Ernie Anches. Anches was also involved with various other funky Surinam acts, such as Oscar Harris, The Twinkle Stars and Thunderstorm. The preceding album Dance Dance Dance (EMI, 1976) made DRSSB a lot more rare, because it contained their international hit single January February. This brought them a very busy touring schedule.
Today the band is still active.
a few sons of the original members like Kenneth Jr. aka Mr.Steel -aka- the son of Benjamin Joseph (Bengie The Mighty Rambler)rip. and Steven aka Sticko son of Dolf Tevreden (Mr Satisfied) who is the founders of this Band.
-Look and you shall find-. (Sticko) ***Respect to all old Members of the great DRSSB.

Hey! Thanks for the add, and thanks for getting in touch. I've got the album - bought off ebay a while ago - and had a play with the track. It's a great album, and I hope you like my edit
Thanx for the request bro, nice to hear all those songs from the good old DRSSB days. Great to see the names of all the musicians who played in the band over the years. Good job, the website is cool.
