IT was an emotional moment for his family on Wednesday as a street in San Fernando was named in honour of panman Steve Achaiba.
Achaiba was one of the first pannists to win a national Panorama both as a player and arranger. He played for Panorama champions Guinness Cavaliers under the captaincy of Lennox “Bobby” Mohammed in 1968 and, as leader and arranger of then Maritime Life Hatters Steel Orchestra in 1975.
