Celebrating the Life of Drummer Donald Noel Jr.

Donald “Junior” Noel, percussionist and master drummer of the Northwest Laventille Cultural Movement passed away recently on 28th November, 2015. Friends, family and associates of Junior from the cultural industry turned up at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain to celebrate the life and times of the master drummer Donald ‘Junior’ Noel. A main figure in the cultural arena over the years, Junior was a mainstay in the Best Village tradition and in the Calypso industry where he backed up many calypsonians with his drumming talent.

The love the community had for Junior was seen in the passion of the performers who came to express themselves to pay respect to the life and times of Junior Noel. Members of the North West Laventille Cultural Movement danced and drummed, with each movement and rhythm a tribute to Junior and a testament to his legacy.
