A musician from Trinidad and Tobago broke a Guinness World Record by playing steelpan for 31 consecutive hours.

Joshua Regrello, 28, started playing steelpan, also known as a steel drum, at a young age.

I have been playing steelpan since I was five years old. My father founded a well-known Trinbagonian steelband, so I grew up surrounded by music,” he told Guinness World Records. “Their rehearsals often went late into the night, and I was always there, soaking it in. Steelpan was not just something I picked up, it was something I was born into. In many ways, it chose me.”

Regrello, who is now a full-time musician and online content creator, broke the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon playing steelpan/steel drums by playing for 31 hours straight.

He said the original plan was to end the attempt at 30 hours.
