Ah come across dese lyrics, but ah cyar remember de name of de chune
Laughing children, tug at Mr. Santa
Teddy bears, and dollies singing mama
The fragrance of black fruit cake and red wine,
We'll toast to a special friend of mine
His name is Jesus,
Come little children
Round my Christmas tree,
We'll have a very merry time
We'll sing dance and play
Til the break of New Year's day
We'll listen to the church bell chime.
Christmas presents, come with seasons greetings
There will be such peaceful loving feelings
Such feelings should not come just once a year
To laugh to cherish and to share
There's a light that shines on every flower
And it shines every minute every hour
And it always guides me on my way
This light was born on Christmas day
His name is Jesus
Come little children
Round my Christmas tree
We'll have a very merry time
We'll sing dance an play
Til the break of New Year's day
We'll listen to the church bells chime
-
Thanx tallman....

It could be Around My Christmas Tree by Lennox Gray
If I used to check this board I would have saved you guys a lot of trouble. I knew Lennox Gray when I was a little boy and he did indeed sing this song. I see him walking around the Savannah from time to time sporting an awful hair cut.
We used to sing this song in primary school for our Christmas Concert.

Local crooner Kelwyn Hutcheon is having a very busy season with public appearances and the continuing demand for his long-time Christmas CD “Christmas Classics,” as well as the very well received CD, "In The Name of Love."
Hutcheon, has just launched a re-issue of his 1998 CD, “But Beautiful,” in collaboration with Simeon Sandiford of Sanch Electronix.
It is a unique mix of beautiful love songs, with accompaniment by the Felix Roach Jazz Ensemble.
The legendary vocalist has, for the first time, done one of the songs with tenor pan accompaniment; and also a duet with Tricia Lee Kelshall of “Someone To Watch Over Me.”
Hutchenson will be making his 20th appearance on Sunday December 17th at what has become the biggest family Christmas event in this country the annual “Carols By Candlelight” at the President’s Grounds.

Trini parang heats up Toronto
Wearing the Santa hat at centre, Alicia Sealy and members of Toronto parang band Los Ketchos Assos.
Fri, 02/01/2009 5:06pm
(http://guardian.co.tt/files/imagecache/article_main_image_stretched/articles/images/Los+Ketchos+Assos.png)
Peter Ray Blood [1] | 5:26 pm
When Denyse Plummer called me from Toronto, on Sunday, the temperature was way below zero but a bunch of true true Trinis found a way to heat up the Canadian city. Including former beauty Alicia Sealy, the group, calling themselves Los Ketchos Assos, had a rollicking time playing parang music, even going from house-to-house, just like back home indoors; yes, in sub-zero temperatures.
Via e-mail, Alicia told me: “Just like North American Carollers, we sing for our supper. Los Ketchos Assos' repertoire comprises mostly traditional, Spanish parang songs, and we performed at four homes from noon to 11 pm on December 21. Boy, did we have fun. “I have to admit that, while performing, we all truly forgot that it was very cold and windy outside.” Also involved in the annual Caribana Festival, Alicia added: “Mark your calendars—the 2009 Scotiabank Caribana™ Parade will be on August 1, 2009.”

Classic Sprang
http://www.toronto-lime.com/music/parang/bring_drinks.htm
13 years and still going strong....
In an interview some years ago, Sprang revealed that this song was made up on the spot in the studio to fill up some space on the CD he was making.....it really sounds like the kinda things Sprang would say off the top of his head when telling jokes....
Ah love it!! (c) Andre Samuel....

Is music time
In any gang
When you'll see
Man start to parang'
All the instruments
Does be in tune
But dey don't leave out
De bottle and spoon
(CHORUS)
See wi' bottle and spoon
Man does be ringin' out real tune
The drum and bass
Goh' fall in place
Your bottle half' with water
Bacchanal and manslaughter
Sweet music in de place
I heard it from
A steelband man
He name Bradshaw
He's a iron man'
Yes he told me plain
Dat very soon
Panmen goin' back
To bottle and spoon
(CHORUS)
Whiskey bottle
Or rum bottle
Does sound real nice,
When ah man rattle
So de Carnival
Dis year go' be hell
Is a bacchanal
Plenty spoon go' sell
(CHORUS)
If yuh bottle small
You mus' realize
Dat de spoon to use
Is a medium size
But if yuh spoon too large
Well den is manslaughter
Yuh bottle going to break
And throw way de water
(CHORUS)

Fellow forumites, there is a christmas song that i used to here as a kid, but since i in foreign i never heard it play once, so i'm of the opinion that it's either caribbean or trini in origin. please help me to identify this song so i could aquirre it for my little nephews and neices, and of course the meh children, and don't forget mama.
the lyrics goes like this. " little children heard of mr santa, teddy bears and dollies saying maama, the fragrance of black fruit cake and red wine, lets toast to a special friend of mine, his name is jesus"
chorus. "come little children round my christmas tree, lets have ah very merry timeeee. lets sing dance and sway, to the break of new years day, we'll listen to the church bells chime."
if ah could get ah yutetube or audio sample would be ah plus, but will settle for the name of the song.
Mods please bare wid meh. ah know this topic don't belong here, but since this is ah regularly visited forum, i would most likely find what i'm looking for here.
thank you guys, and happy holidays.

I dunno what "christainaity" is an whose throats it was forced down... or what "Christamas" is for that matter. But Christmas the observance celebrated on December 25th has very much to do with Christianity. Downright foolish to assert otherwise.

Yuh preachin to the chior breds. i well verse on the origins of christmas. tell it to the others who maybe in the dark about this, as ah matter of fact, fack it, i will tell it.
it's an old roman pagan tradition that derived from babylon centuries ago.
the romans used to celebrate the birth of mithra on the 25th of december before constantine christianized them, as we all know mithra was the pagan roman savior of the world before christ kicked him off the wagon and stole his birthday and his title becoming the new savior, hence christmas. ;D

Mitra was Babylonian ? I thought it was Set. So which civilization was older Babylon or Indian cause a google search saying Mitra was an Indian god .
I specifically used the word "DERIVED" not "ORIGINATED" in babylon. maybe it orignated in india, but as far as i know, mithrism was a babylonian concept that made it's way to the grecco roman empire and finally settling and rooted itself in roman culture.
i don't talk of the top off my head, and most things i post could be supported with facts.

This is nonsense.
Christmas is it's own celebration, it was not derived from any pagan observations. Christ was a historical person, meaning he actually existed and was not some myth. Christmas is a celebration of his birth, which to Christians has special meaning given his divinity. Non-Christians can question his divinity if they like but for believers there is ample reasons for it. All that said, there are pagan traditions which have been incorporated into the Christmas celebration over the years. Among these are Santa Claus (Saint Nicklaus), burning the yule log/yule tree (which was turned into placing lit candles on yule trees; which today is lighting Christmas trees), celebrating the birth of Sol Invictus the Sun God/observing the arrival of the Winter Solstice (December 21st; which became the modern day observation of December 25 thanks to the early Catholic Church)... to name a few.
Incorporating these traditions made it easier to convert pagans to Christianity, but by no means indicates that Christmas was derived from these traditions. At one point "Discovery Day" was celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago on August 1st. 25 yrs ago it was decided that the observation would be replaced by "Emancipation Day" instead... also to be celebrated on August 1st, since slaves were emancipated in the British colonies on that day in 1834. Two observances, celebrated on the same day, one replacing the other. Was Emancipation Day derived from Discovery Day? Anybody really want to try and make that argument?
Of course the analogy isn't perfect, Discovery Day and Emancipation Day are observed in drastically distinct ways, unlike Christmas and some of the earlier traditions/observances, where there is much similarity. Nonetheless, the birth of Christ is no fable, nor is his Divinity, to Christians. But it's a favorite heresy of atheists and other non-believers.
-
Christmas' origin was hardly Christian. In fct the earliest criticsm to Christmas came from Christians who said it was anything but christian.
Christmas was created to capture pagans into christianity and the Church (RomN catholic) allowed all the excesses of the old Staurnalia festivals.
No way..christmas is a lie.
I have to admit, it has morphed into something other than hat it was originally, and people are nicer etc. but it is a lie.

Poppycock!!! first off, initially, there was nothing named christianity, and the fella who we all know today as "JESUS CHRIST" was a ah practicing jew. he never told the israelites to eat pork, do away with the sabbath and the law of moses, instead he instructed them on the purity of worship and the true precepts of god and was marely instructing them to return to the faith of moses with ah more merciful approach, in other words a reformer.
in the acts of the apostles, the beginning of the 3rd chapter "peter"/simeon and "john"/ yohan went up to the temple to worship, and that was after the death or disappearance of the christ, IMO that's a clear indication that they were still observing jewish law.
the christianity we all know and love is ah greek religion given to them by st paul and not jesus. hense the reason pual and barnabas (who was jesus's first cousin) went separate ways never to unite ever again, that's BC paul was talkin some shyte that jesus didn't teach them, and barnabas and mark bounced.
in 70 AD after the sacking of jerusalem by titus,the followers of christ for the most part retreated to deserts of egypt where they were known in those days as the nazerenes and the ebonites, and they stayed there for 100s of yrs, of which after they moved throughout the middles east.
jesus himself quoted in the gospel of mathew 5:17 that he didn't come to end the law but to observe, full fill, keep. i not doubting that the early pauline grecco christians did celebrate christ birthday, but the romans were the ones who made christmas what is is now, which was a pagan concept.
PS: i still love christmas and does still listen to meh carols but i don't get carried away with the significance BC it routed in paganism. but as andy williams said, "it's the most wonderful time of the year". :devil:
BTW check out jeremiah chp 10: 1-4 some more facts about christmas and it's pagan origin.

I have to admit, it has morphed into something other than hat it was originally, and people are nicer etc. but it is a lie.
So please tell us then... what were the origins of Christmas? Was Christ real or was he a myth... is his divinity a myth to Christians?
-
apparently no roman philosopher living at the time talks of jesus .apparently it all has to do with the ages .ie remember moses throw the bull statue ...well that was the age of Taurus .After Taurus was the age of Pisces ,the fishs Like Jesus.
We should receive another savior at the age of Aquarius .
-
if Christ is real or a myth has no bearing on the festival. His divinity was decided some 300 years after his death according to the Council Of Nicea.
To christians his divinity is real. still trying to figure out what his divinity has to do with Christmas..seems more like Easter to me.

Of course initially there was nothing named Christianity... it must start at a certain point, and until that point that it originates then it's not in existence. Initially there was nothing named Islam or Judaism either... I'm not sure what your point is supposed to be. Christ never instructed the Jews to do away with the things you mentioned but he gave new meaning to them, he told them they could continue their observances, such as observing the Sabbath, circumcision, maintaining a kosher diet etc. However Jews did these things in fulfillment of the promise made between God and Abraham, known as the 'covenant', which is a fancy way of say bond or agreement. Christ told them that they no longer had to keep up these observances as part of their covenant with God. He was the New Covenant and belief in and acceptance of him is now the only way to maintain that promise with God.
It's hardly as simple as present it, it had little to do with that "more merciful" talk you suggesting... what Christ was proposing was very radical and very much a heresy in the eyes of the Jews... compounded by the fact that he claimed to be able to perform miracles, something reserved exclusively to God.
in the acts of the apostles, the beginning of the 3rd chapter "peter"/simeon and "john"/ yohan went up to the temple to worship, and that was after the death or disappearance of the christ, IMO that's a clear indication that they were still observing jewish law.
What exactly is this supposed to prove... because they were still observing certain aspects of Jewish faith that means that they weren't observing Christianity?? Christianity is not that different from Judaism that you won't see some of the old faith survive in the new... this isn't Christianity and Islam we talking about. Christianity is in line with Judaism on everything but the deity of Christ. I guarantee you that Peter and John believed that Christ was the Son of God and that ascended into heaven and reunited with God following his death... something the Jews would never say.
the christianity we all know and love is ah greek religion given to them by st paul and not jesus. hense the reason pual and barnabas (who was jesus's first cousin) went separate ways never to unite ever again, that's BC paul was talkin some shyte that jesus didn't teach them, and barnabas and mark bounced.
This is beyond foolish... the central tenets of Christianity are traced directly to the works and writings of the 12 disciples of Christ, including the very same Peter and Mark you mention. None of these disciples were Greek, nor was Paul himself. Paul was a Roman citizen, but also a practicing Jew. Christianity was already in existence by the time Paul was converted.. proof of this is in the fact that he was one of the chief Jewish leaders given responsibility for persecuting the blasphemous new Christians. How then could Paul give a religion that was already in existence?
As for the ridiculous claim that Barnabas and Mark "bounced" because Paul was teaching something not taught by Jesus... this is beyond silly. Paul by the force of his personality, his inherent passion and the strength of his belief.. became an early leader of the new Christian sect. I say "sect" because Christians very much still saw themselves as Jews, very much the say Sunnis and Shi'as see themselves as Muslims following the teachings of different imams. Christ was a rabbi who brought new teachings to the Jewish faith. The disciples embraced these teachings as 'gospel' and after the death and resurrection of Christ they undertook as their mission the publicaiton and dissemination of his teachings. In order to reach as many people as possible it became necessary to disperse and go their separate ways... they didn't have no Praise The Lord ministries or 700 Club to spread their message so they had to travel in order to spread that Word. This is why they went their separate ways. There is nothing in the writings of Mark which indicates that he was at odds with Paul. Mark's Gospel is 99.9% in sync with the other Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John. None of these other Gospels indicate that there was anything 'off' or different or objectionable with the teachings of Paul.
in 70 AD after the sacking of jerusalem by titus,the followers of christ for the most part retreated to deserts of egypt where they were known in those days as the nazerenes and the ebonites, and they stayed there for 100s of yrs, of which after they moved throughout the middles east.
I have no idea what this has to do with anything... other than to say that Christians were spread about... this simple fact you reference has little bearings on the origins of Christianity.
jesus himself quoted in the gospel of mathew 5:17 that he didn't come to end the law but to observe, full fill, keep. i not doubting that the early pauline grecco christians did celebrate christ birthday, but the romans were the ones who made christmas what is is now, which was a pagan concept.
Of course he didn't come to end the law... but to fulfill it. HE was fulfilment of the law of Moses. Believe in him and accept him as the "way the truth and the life", that no one get to Heaven but thru him (John 14:6). It is clear that this represents a radical departure from traditional Jewish teachings that the way to Heaven was thru the observances of the laws of Moses, the keeping of the Covenant. Your suggestion is that Christ wasn't trying to take the religion in a new direction. Well that is PRECISELY what he did. He didn't call himself a Christian just like Martin Luther didn't call himself a Lutheran, John Calvin didn't call himself a Calvinist, and Siddartha Gautama didn't call himself a Buddhist. That doesn't refute the fact that Christianity is the same core beliefs that were taught by Christ and handed down to and thru his disciples.
PS: i still love christmas and does still listen to meh carols but i don't get carried away with the significance BC it routed in paganism. but as andy williams said, "it's the most wonderful time of the year". :devil:
BTW check out jeremiah chp 10: 1-4 some more facts about christmas and it's pagan origin.
Jeremiah 10:1-4 says nothing about pagan origins about Christmas... yuh might want to read it again. It speaks about idol worship and the fact that some worshipped trees. The only potential link with Christmas is the fact that we light Christmas trees today. Of course it's silly to say that this practice originated with the worshipping of trees... but I'm sure that won't stop you from trying to make that argument.
------------------------
Trust me, is not now I having these discussions on Christianity and Christmas... there is hardly an argument that you can make that I haven't already heard.
-

To christians his divinity is real. still trying to figure out what his divinity has to do with Christmas..seems more like Easter to me.
Whether he is real or not has everything to do with the festival, since YOU are one of the two here saying that the origins or Christmas were pagan. Christians clearly tie the origins of the religion to his birth and the hope that his birth offered to believers, later fulfilled by his teachings during his lifetime. Those teachings gave rise to the belief that he was the Son of God and that he ascended into Heaven to be reunited with God.
I myself have written extensively here about the Council of Nicea, so you not really telling me anything I don't know. Maybe that is for others like Trini assive who following on the sidelines. Following the Coucil of Nicea in 325 a.d. it was finally adopted as the official position of the Church that Christ was divine. It's not that Christians didn't believe this before... a majority of Christians always believed that Christ was divine. The Aryan Heresy however proved to be significant enough a threat to that unofficial belief that it became necessary for the Church to formalize the belief.
If you still trying to figure out what the divinity of christ has to do with Christmas then no wonder you making the types of arguments you making.

Bake N shark you've spoken like ah true christian. the way yuh dispose of every one of my arguments like non of them were credable is just amazing and indicative of every christian i've said this to.
i won't take this any further though, since there's nothing in it for me, but there's one thing i must reply to. the fact that yuh tie up initial in ah knot to mean from the begining of it all as opposed to what i meant to say which was in the beginning of christ mission and there after his followers, is quite convenient.
but allow me to say it again, and i'm using the word initial as to say, "from the beginning of jesus's mission and his disciples carrying on there after". initially from the beginning to the end of his mission, christianity did not exist, not in name, not in practice, not in creed!!!
these guys were jews who followed a different brand of judism, they kept the sabbath, they worshiped yahweh only, and they followed the precepts of moses, nothing that the christians follow today or in the 4th century is comparable!
the early followers of jesus were not called christians, but rather nazerenes and ebonoites, that's the only reason i mentioned them. they also didn't believe in the cross or jesus being their savior, to them he was the good teacher/ prophet and nothing more.
this whole concept of savior, son of god, divinity of christ and trinity was never a concept during the life of jesus, his disciples nor the early followers of his message.
as for christianity and judism not being that different, back then or any other time, :o this one i have tuh say was the one that lost me, and lead me to believe that you eh know what the hell yuh talking bout!! as ah matter of fact, the only similarities that christianity and judism have in common is the half ah book that they share, apart from that, apples oranges.
jews believe in one solitary deity, christians believe in the trinity for the most part except the unitarians. judaism follow the law of moses, christians don't, except for the adventist dem. judaism celebrate different holy day like rashanna, yaum kipor, channaka, shemini atzeret, passover and many more, christians don't! also christians celebrate holidays which have no correlation with judaism and the jews therefore don't follow them either.
as for the comment jesus made about not abolishing the law,but to fulfill it, he then went on to say, until heaven and earth pass away, not one "jot" (an iota) nor one "tittle" (a point or small sign used as a diacritical mark) shall in no wise pass from the law until all be fulfilled.
and this is self explanatory. fulfill has a few meanings, examples= (A) to bring to an end, (b) to put into effect, (C) to measure up too,(D) to covert into reality, ah wonder which one jesus was talkin bout? well ah know for sure he wasn't talking bout (A) BC he already said in the beginning of the statement, that he eh come to abolish the law, so it had to be either B,C or D., plus he said until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot of the law shall in no wise fail.
now in case i'm not dreaming i will pinch my self just tuh make sure, BC as far as i know, heaven and earth still here and has in no wise passed away! which means the law of moses according the christ is still in effect. but anyway ah know yuh will probably find ah way tuh annul every argument that was brought again.
BTW, i have the same disposition had TC, i love the vibes of christmas, but i don't believe it has shyte to do with christ, but rather an old roman pagan tradition that survive through the transition from pagan rome to papal rome.
merry christmas bro, don't drink too much. positive. :beermug:

JC yuh right pardna, the early Christians didn't believe Christ was the savior... the conversation between Christ and Peter in the Garden of Gethsemane the night that he was betrayed... that never happened, or Peter was just mouthing the words, he never really believed that. The Gospel authors only write the Gospel to show how crazy Jesus was, walking around talking about how he was the path to redemption.... they themselves never really believed any of that. But as yuh said... I really dunno what the hell I talking about so leh we eh waste any more time on this.
Happy Holidays :beermug:

Nah sharks, doh take it like that. ah know this is ah christmas thread and ah hate tuh go on wid all this, but sometime i does get carried away with topics like this BC of a special interest of mine.
as for your statements i have bolded in red, there's also a flip side. there were @ least 20 gospels that never made it into the canonical library, forinstance, the gospel of barnabas, gospel of nicodemus, gospel of Q, gospel of thomas, egerton gospel, gospel of mary, gospel of the nazoreans, gospel of the ebonites, secret gospel of mark, dialogue of the savior, and much more, and most of these gospels support a whole different view of christ and his mission than what we have today in the new testament.
we all know that bishop irenaeus persecuted the judao "christians" (true followers of christ) and labeled them heretics, their accounts of christ mission never made it into the canonical books either,
that's BC their view of jesus didn't fit the story that was told by paul and others, so it's really hard to say what was christ mission since there are so many conflicting accounts.
i think you should do some more research, there ah wealth of information just waitin to be tapped into. i think you should start with the complete gospels by john dominic crossan, and the gnostic gospels by elaine pagels.
merry christmas bro and enjoy yuh day. :beermug:

My son now living in Japan teaching English for the Japanese Government as part of the Japanese Exchange and Teaching (JET) programme.
One of the objective is to foster cultural exchange and the teachers are encouraged to integrate parts of their culture into the teaching plans. So for Christmas, he decided to introduce his students to parang. Here is an email received from him today.
Email starts
Thanks to you, dad, there are just over 200 Japanese youths who have been exposed to parang and soca parang. I think they got a real kick out of it. They weren't sure what to expect, but it wasn't that.
For the class I got them to listen to Piece ah Pork. I gave them the lines of the chorus out of order, and they had to listen to the song and put them in the correct order. Must students were able to do it, which surprised me, since the language level of these students is so low. Then we translated the chorus, and they got a laugh out of that.
One student said it sounded like summer music.
A couple students in each class started to dance in their seat.
One student sang the chorus for fun after the song had ended. It wasn't a task. He just felt like singing.
Later on in the lesson I played Christmas bingo. While doing that I played the rest of the parang you sent me.
So if some of the goals of the JET Program are cultural exchange, and for us Assistant Language Teachers to share our culture, I think these goals are being met.
Thanks for the help, dad.

Pecan, yuh family running riot across Asia dis year :)

There was a song that I remember
Gifts, toys, I never had those Christmas joys
Your Love, is my only Christmas Joy
We share, a kind of love that the world should know
It's real, so real
That's how all in love should free.
They used to show it on Tv a lot but can't find it on youtube.

Ah come across dese lyrics, but ah cyar remember de name of de chune
Laughing children, tug at Mr. Santa
Teddy bears, and dollies singing mama
The fragrance of black fruit cake and red wine,
We'll toast to a special friend of mine
His name is Jesus,
Come little children
Round my Christmas tree,
We'll have a very merry time
We'll sing dance and play
Til the break of New Year's day
We'll listen to the church bell chime.
Christmas presents, come with seasons greetings
There will be such peaceful loving feelings
Such feelings should not come just once a year
To laugh to cherish and to share
There's a light that shines on every flower
And it shines every minute every hour
And it always guides me on my way
This light was born on Christmas day
His name is Jesus
Come little children
Round my Christmas tree
We'll have a very merry time
We'll sing dance an play
Til the break of New Year's day
We'll listen to the church bells chime
This tune always sound a little like it was Count Dracula singing it. ;D

Trinidad And Tobago Remixes Caribbean Christmas Traditions
December 24, 20185:01 AM ET
Heard on Morning Edition
JOHN OTIS
The twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago is famous for calypso and soca, infectious music that takes center stage during the island's annual Carnival. But during the Christmas season another type of music dominates.
At a sound check for a band that plays old-time instruments, musicians play cuatro, a small, four-stringed acoustic guitar. There are also mandolins, maracas and a box bass, Trinidad's version of the washtub bass. These are some of the instruments that are used to make the religious folk music called parang.
During the months leading up to Christmas, parang can be heard just about everywhere in Trinidad. Most of the songs are about the birth of Christ. However, not everyone understands the lyrics. Parang was brought to Trinidad by migrant farm workers from nearby Venezuela. The songs are sung in Spanish even though the mother tongue on the island is English.
Some parang groups like Los Alumnos de San Juan pantomime to help audiences grasp the Spanish lyrics to songs. Alicia Jaggasar is the leader of Los Alumnos de San Juan and also heads the National Parang Association.
"Parang music is our way at Christmastime to tell the story but in a different language and in a different musical style," Jaggasar says. "So you wouldn't hear it as the normal 'Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn king.' You will hear: 'Cantando gloria, gloria, gloria en el cielo. En un establo nació el Dios verdadero,'" which translates to "Singing glory, glory, glory in heaven. The true God was born in a stable."
Jaggasar's group is booked until Christmas Eve. On that night, parang bands go house to house until the wee hours in an exuberant form of Christmas caroling. But they must adhere to some elaborate musical etiquette to gain entry.
"You have to do a serenado from outside," Jaggasar says. "And in that song, you have to actually say who you are, and what you've come to do. And it's only when the host hears who you are, then the door is open. They don't just open it just like that."
But once inside, the party revs up.
"Christmas morning, I would hear the cuatros, the mandolins, as the groups went from house to house, " Michele Reis, a Trinidad academic, says. "There is lots of rum flowing, there is food that comes. ... And it's just a really festive time, you know?"
To keep this tradition alive, high schools and colleges in Trinidad hold parang contests. Still, musicians are always tinkering with parang in an effort to reach a wider audience. One result is soca-parang, which is sung in English so more people will understand, and fused with the frenetic rhythms of soca.
Purists complain that the lyrics often glorify girls rather than the gospel. But Jaggasar endorses the hybrid. "Because we are land of calypso, soca and steel band, we like to mix things, that is just our culture," Jaggasar says.
