He left and founded the Cavaliers in 1961 with 18 pannists.[4] Later that year, the Gondoliers and the Cavaliers faced each other in a competition to win sponsorship from Guinness Caribbean Ltd, with the Cavaliers winning. The Cavaliers went on to win the 1964 Southern Steelband Competition.[5] In 1965, the Cavaliers took first place at the Panorama competition, making Mohammed the youngest arranger to win.[6] After placing second in 1966, Mohammed and the Cavaliers finished first again in 1967.[2]
