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.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC SELECTION – ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
Mixed by DJ MIKA RAGUAA (aka THE BRIDE)
On Christmas people come together… many celebrate with closest friends and families… still some are sad and lonely. To bring people together for the festive season, was the idea of the “ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS” event series in Leipzig (Germany). This event featured four evenings before Christmas in a very special (and of course decorated) atmosphere and Christmas songs recorded all over the world. This 3 hours composition, which turns quite emotional to the end, was recorded in 2015 and includes classic Christmas anthems, cover versions, remixes, and also Parang Soca music from Trinidad and Tobago.
