NEW ERA

PODCASTING

We have gone from the days of the television with the rabbit ears, radio vision and the victrola to smart tvs ipods and cds.  Podcasting makes it easy for us to take our broadcasts with us wherever we go because that is where the world has brought us with technology today. I want to introduce you today to Parang music.  This is the season in Trinidad and Tobago where we begin the preliminary celebrations for the Christmas season. Parang music is based on holiday sentiments sung in Spanish (which celebrates the integration our hispanic ancestry of the island), it uplifts the Virgin Mary, the baby Jesus, the food we eat the music we play, it encompasses everything and the people and how we live. When you hear this music wherever you are in this world, your heart longs for home, Trinidad and Tobago. http://djfloopstt-podcast.club/trinidad-parang-soca-christmas-classics-video-mix/


This podcast showcases a medley of performances by some popular performers, singing parang songs like Soca Santa, which is a Santa who likes the Trinidad scene like the music, food and women. the soca reference is to the type of music that is popular in Trinidad and Tobago. Some of the more traditional parang songs is sung totally in Spanish and honors the Virgin Mary and Jesus.
