‘Iconography’ is a fun and educational, deep-dive docu-series.
We reveal the untold stories of musical giants and cultural icons in Trinidad and Tobago, through the voices of the legends themselves, many of whom have limited recorded interview material available for public viewing, as a result of rising to prominence before the popularity of recorded video documentaries and the internet.
Guided by creator, interviewer and prodigy pannist Aviel Scanterbury, we explore the beginnings of these artists’ sagas, and search for insight into what it takes to become a Caribbean icon.
