Parang Music as the Heartbeat of Christmas
Alongside, with guitars and maracas in hand, the Parang musicians – the music—oh, the music! Parang, with its lively rhythms and soulful lyrics remind that even in the darkest of times, there is always something to be celebrated.
The beauty of Christmas isn’t in the words we say, but in the joy we feel, the love we give, and the memories we hold.
As we run out of words, we find that the real Christmas spirit can’t be captured in language alone. It lives in our hearts and in the togetherness we share. Let’s take a moment and let this poem show you the magic that makes Christmas in Trinidad so special.
Ready to feel the joy? Here’s a glimpse of some vibrant activities!
From Parang songs that light the night,
To decorating all with colors bright.
We gather around the tree so tall,
And share the hug, the joy, the call.
Pastelles, cake, and drinks so sweet,
Feasts and laughter fill the street.
Gifts exchanged with love and care,
Midnight Mass, that moment rare.
Fireworks light the starry sky,
When friends and family come nearby.
Visiting, caring, the love we give,
In Trinidad, we all truly live.
But the tradition doesn’t stop here – how could we forget the shining gem of Trinidad and Tobago’s Christmas celebrations?
