DECEMBER  2022 – FELIZ NAVIDAD & MERRY CHRISTMAS!
 
Live Mix: PARANG PARANG – AUTHENTIC & ORIGINAL – TRINIDAD CHRISTMAS (2022)

Mixed by DJ MIKA RAGUAA

This is my Christmas gift for you. May this festive season bring lots of joy and happiness to your life. May your wishes and dreams come true, and may you feel this happiness all year round.
Merry Christmas from your DJ MIKA.

The mix includes classics from the early years of Parang music but also brand new exclusive releases, from the band with the beautiful name of „Los Angeles de San Miguel“ from Diego Martin in Trinidad and Tobago. For more than forty years they spread joy around the birth of the holy king and embrace the spirit of Christmas from year to year in an authentic and traditional style.


The instruments used in the mix are essential for Parang music. The box bass is (besides the steel pan) another invention from the small twin island in the Caribbean. Maracas, rattles, chac chacs, and the four-string guitar, also known as cuatro create the sound of the Parang. The roots are in Venezuela, still, Trinidad and Tobago started its own style out of the so-called Parranda. Learn more about it at www.ttmusiclibrary.com – the virtual music archive for the sound of Trinidad and Tobago.
