Special Guest Performance: Traditional Parang Music #2

At our Food Bank fundraiser we had a special guest performance of Parang, a popular folk music originating from Trinidad and Tobago. In Trinidad, traditional parang music is largely performed around Christmas time, when singers and instrumentalists (collectively known as the parranderos) travel from house to house in the community, often joined by friends and neighbours family etc. using whatever instruments are at hand. Popular parang instruments include the cuatro (a small, four-string guitar) and maracas (locally known as chac-chacs). Other instruments often used are violin, guitar, claves (locally known as toc-toc), box bass (an indigenous instrument), tambourine, mandolin, bandol, caja (a percussive box instrument), and marimbola (an Afro-Venezuelan instrument). In exchange for the entertainment, parranderos are traditionally given food and drink: pastelle, sorrel, rum and "Ponche Crema" (a form of alcoholic eggnog). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parang Our favourite event of the year is back for it's 19th year in a row! On Dec. 14, 2016 we showed what we do for fun and fitness in the gorgeous lobby of Edmonton City Hall. This was not a performance... just a time for friends and family to see what we do in a 10 week session of Dance Moves. Plus, it goes without saying that it's all in support of a great cause! Join us for our next 10 week session! Starts January, April, July and October. Ask us about our EARLY BIRD SPECIAL!
