Paramin Trinidad , A village lost in time ! Bring back the old time ways !!!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2021
- To the uninitiated, the road to Paramin resembles a slim river of asphalt racing down an impossibly steep valley. Heading left off the main Maraval crossroads (or from the Morne Coco Road that winds its way from Diego Martin), it climbs precipitously to the village’s main junction, a three-way meeting of narrow roads, where the shops, parlours, church and school all converge.
On weekdays, it is still and quiet save for the buzz of schoolchildren; most of Paramin’s four thousand residents are at work, many in the fields they have etched into the high hillsides of the Maraval Valley.
This is a community where everyone knows who you are: there are only five major families. The elders speak warily of their oral history. A dark tale of lusty slave masters and beautiful black maidens fleeing to an agricultural safe haven. Forget it, they whisper. It can’t be verified. There are no records… Forget it.
Much of Paramin is like this: a people who live virtually cut off from the rest of the world. They speak Patois (or Kwéyòl), a variety of the (Caribbean) French Creole language, quite unlike the Spanish spoken among elders in other parts of Trinidad. The farmers work their land intimately, with a tenderness that would not be out-of-place in a pediatric nurse. Their crops of cabbage, tomato, thyme and sweet peppers provide the basis of a famous brand of seasonings and pepper sauce, prepared by hand and bottled here with the same sense of detail and correctness.

Paramin is truly a hidden treasure...beautiful and captivating sights indeed 💚💚
I agree with you completely and I hope that it stays that way for a long time 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@Trini_Surfer I hope so as well ❤️🙏🏽
My brother, I feel like this video needs a part 2 and maybe a part 3. Great content 👍
I truly appreciate your support and kindness my friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 that place definitely deserves a sequel to the first vid 🇹🇹
My grandparents are from Paramin. I'm exited about the soon completion of the lookout as persons from the village and by extension Trinidad and Tobago deserve a high quality facility with shelter, running water and toilet facilities, this project employees consist of 90 to 100 percent highly skilled workmen from Paramin which makes it even more amazing. When completed this lookout will be second to non in the Caribbean. #ParaminHasSkills
That’s awesome man 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯 your grandparents live in an amazing place for real 🇹🇹. Lets hope the deck can finally be finished in the near future so we can all enjoy it again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
sometimes I'm surprised my country has places this beautiful after living in the city for so long :')
we have so much beauty to offer !!
as a Paraminian, i loved this video😁 it was fun to watch ! it inspired me to make videos like this myself. great content🔥💯
