Description
Soundway presents two rare, Parang dancefloor cuts from early 1980s Trinidad & Tobago.
Parang is a style of folk music that originated from Venezuelan and Colombian immigrants that came to the Caribbean, and evolved to include elements of Latin music, disco and soca – as is evident in this release. Although traditionally used to be played during the festive season in Trinidad and Tobago, parang music continues to heat up dancefloors all year round.
These two in-demand tracks were originally released on the local RH Productions label in Trinidad & Tobago. Fully restored, remastered and licensed – both are now being released officially for the first time on digital, and re-pressed for the first time on vinyl. Full tracks in the player.
Original copies of Latin Parang have sold for up to £170, whilst an original copy of Parang Jam have gone for £340.
A – Colleen Grant – Latin Parang (6:36)
B – Sandra Hamilton – Parang Jam (4:51)
