-A Cultural Explosion-
I had an eventful weekend, went to all types of events and shows.
The man caught my attention, most people can't play two flutes at once. He is part of a parang group.
is a type of music with Caribbean and Latin American cultural influences. The word is derived from the Spanish word
parranda, meaning 'merry-making' or 'a group of serenaders'. Parang is a popular folk music of Trinidad and Tobago
, it is part of the Island's Hispanic heritage that originated from over 400 years ago during Spanish rule in Venezuela.
-Moko Jumbies-

tradition brought to the Caribbean. Thanks wikipedia.org
