We cannot forget the season. Yes, we have a weakness for new Soca music, but this is Christmas—and in Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, it is Parang season. Over time, we’ve moved away from American popular Christmas songs to embrace our own homegrown blends. Borrowed from our panyol neighbors in Venezuela, traditional Parang was fused with Soca to create two uniquely Caribbean styles: Parang Soca and Soca Parang.
Each brings its own flavor: one emphasizes traditional Parang instrumentation layered with the Soca beat, while the other drives forward with an uptempo Soca rhythm and lighter use of traditional instruments. Together, they embody the festive spirit of the islands.
Now, on to the mixtape. DJ Aaron is no stranger to Sokah2Soca—his work is featured on our link list menu. Today, we spotlight his seasonal offering: “Sorrell and Parang Soca.” ’Tis the season for Parang Soca and Soca Parang, so as you prepare your homes for the holidays, turn up the volume and enjoy the sweet sounds of Caribbean Christmas.
We wholeheartedly approve of this mixtape and encourage you to share it with your social media contacts. For many in the diaspora, music is a bridge back to the homeland. We hope this collection eases the missing‑home syndrome and brings joy wherever you are.
Enjoy the music, and have a very Merry Christmas!

Together, we can ensure that this rich cultural legacy reaches a wider audience and fosters creativity and connections.
