Photo Description

Steel pan instruments were traditionally made from used steel oil drums or steel containers. This image shows young men playing steel pan instruments while standing in front of steel oil drums decorated with the Texaco logo and the word Astronauts. The Texaco Astronauts steel band, popular during the 1960s, were sponsored by Texaco, an oil company. In the distance are pedestrians on a nearby street. In the garden, near the practicing band, are empty tables and chairs on a gravel path. Mango, palm, and various trees grow in the garden.
