. Merry Christmas Trini Style . - Submitted By Mike Cudjoe . I goggled the word Parang. The response I got was 'Parang is a popular folk music originating in Venezuela and T&T. It was brought to T&T by Venezuelan and Columbian migrants'. . The nice thing about parang is that it was embraced by people of all ethnic backgrounds and its catchy beat makes you feel good and want to party. I have pleasant memories around Christmas time enjoying the parang music. I like the music video below (Parang Song 3) because it has a catchy beat and all the performers look so happy while they are doing it. TO MY TRINI FRIENDS AND FAMILIES, MERRY CHRISTMAS! TURN UP THE SOUND AND ENJOY. (Click To Play) .  .. .  . Crazy, Marcia Miranda & Baron Say :- . Bring Drinks....Bring Sips.... Some Ginger Beer & Sorrel.... Pass The Pastelles... A Piece Of Pork... Slice Of Black Cake.. Bring Out The Cuatro & The Chac Chac.... Start The Singing Is Christmas Time Again!!!!!!!! . Be ready...the MAA parang side (Los Eat-os & Los Drink-os) might be passing your way soon. .
