We are switching to Christmas mode with a groundbreaking update to Crazy’s iconic song, Muchacha, which helped birth the Parang Soca genre. This time, Crazy incorporates Venezuelan influences into the festive fold by teaming up with young sensation Jan Luis to deliver a version that’s just as electrifying as the original but with a modern twist.
While many will recognize the song, we must state that Muchacha isn’t just a song—it’s a cultural bridge. Given the large number of Venezuelans now living in Trinidad, this cultural bridge is long overdue. From the hills of Paramin to the streets of Caracas, we have undoubtedly made significant progress; this rendition is filled with rhythm, heritage, and holiday joy. The blend of Spanish and Parang Soca is seamless, playful, and powerful.
We love it. We feel it. We celebrate it.
Let us spread awareness of the culture of the Caribbean diaspora.
We do this to promote Caribbean culture, musicians, and music producers. We are able to honor and promote the rich sounds and stories of the Caribbean thanks to your support. Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections. While it is important to always purchase music, you should avoid sharing promotional music because doing so denies essential revenue to songwriters, producers, and artists.
