Parang season
In Trinidad, the sound of Christmas often comes with Spanish lyrics.
The fun of going from house to house and waking people with the jovial
sounds of parang music is the island’s traditional version of carolling.
Before COVID-19, lively performances of the Spanish-style folk music —
sometimes fused with soca and chutney — often serenaded passersby
around the Arima, Lopinot, and Paramin districts in the weeks leading up to
Christmas, with September designated Parang History Month — and the
start of the annual parang season — by T&T’s National Parang Association.
Live music performances may have taken a pause due to the ongoing
pandemic, but the Drive-In Parang Theatre event planned for December
2021 will keep you safely in your bubble while you listen to some of the best
paranderos. Visit facebook.com/npattofficialpage for the full line-up.
