About

Parang is a popular folk music originating from Trinidad and Tobago and is practiced throughout the Caribbean. It was brought to Trinidad by Venezuelan migrants who were primarily of Amerindian, Spanish, and African heritage, all reflected in the music itself. Learn to play the ukulele, cuatro, guitar or selection of percussion instruments. No experience necessary.
