Melrose Holiday Parranda: Starting Out, Wepa! (2015)

Begin the Begin! Here we are starting out on our first Melrose Holiday Parranda at the Bronx Documentary Center in the Bronx. A parranda is the Puerto Rican tradition of Christmas caroling based on the music of plena and aguinaldos (holiday songs) from the island. 1st Annual Melrose Holiday Parranda, 12.21.2015.
Thank you to the members of the Bronx music and cultural community that led us, including Bobby Sanabria, Jorge Vazquez, Nelson Seda, Jose Rivera, among others.
