Little Mermaid star fascinated by Tobagonian's Under the Sea pan rendition

Tobago musician, arranger and educator Keishaun Julien posted his rendition of Under the Sea on TikTok after one of his followers asked that he put his own twist on the track.

HALLE Bailey, the lead actress of Disney's live-action version of The Little Mermaid has lauded Tobago pannist Keishaun Julien's steelpan interpretation of the movie's theme song, Under the Sea.

Julien, a musician, arranger and educator posted the rendition on TikTok after one of his followers asked that he put his own twist on the track.

In the movie, the steel pan is the main background instrument featured in the original track.

Julien told Sunday Newsday, “I decided to play it without any backing track and I sort of accompanied myself while playing it. So that was kind of different for this song because most of the other covers were done with the backing track.”‌
