Professor Imbert, a graduate of UWI, is well known for his devotion to steel pan research. Since the 1970’s he has been deeply involved with the instrument and recently, he was a member of the team responsible for the invention and creation of the ingenious G-Pan. His involvement with pan is very hands-on and he is currently Assistant Manager of Birdsong Steel Orchestra. His contributions to furthering the development and longevity of the national instrument have contributed to the cultural identity of our Trinidad and Tobago.
