Back in World War II, when the Americans set up bases in Trinidad, calypsonians had a lyrical field day—rum, romance, and radar stations all made it into the verses. Fast forward to 2025: the Americans are back in the region, Venezuela’s in the mix… and yet, calypso has been quiet. But leave it to Christmas and Parang Soca to break the silence—with a chaser of punch and pepper sauce.
Enter “Ah Passing by Yuh”—a festive Parang Soca release where Yung Bredda kicks things off with, “Wa yuh say Marcia?” and Marcia Miranda fires back, “War? It has no war in TNT, Yung Bredda!” And just like that, we outside!
This tune is pure holiday mischief: drinks flowing, vibes glowing, and not a single verse asking for a ceasefire. The animated video adds extra sparkle, proving once again that in Trinidad, even geopolitical tension gets a rhythm section.
So if you’re wondering how Trinis handle global drama during the holidays, the answer is simple: We party. War or no war. Because as we always say: Anytime is Trinidad time, and Trinidad time is party time.
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.
