Well unless you have been hiding under the proverbial rock you should know that as the month of October pushes its way to the end of the year that Christmas is in the air in the twin-island republic of Trinidad and Tobago... That means Parang is here!
The current season was launched in Arima at the Omera headquarters of the National Parang Association. The headliner for the affair was the well-known Lara Brothers band. Willie Lara is the only surviving member of the original band that was started over seventy years ago when his three other brothers sang with their parents.
We have updated this post with a YouTube video of Parang in Lopinot, Trinidad. The original video from the Trinidad Express Newspaper is no longer available.
