    Rio Manzanares, the Sonora Matancera's version is very famous in Colombia. Congratulations for all the respect that you show for your Heritage.

    Only in Trinidad an English speaking country would they be singing in Spanish on a French Heritage Site in Lopinot. That area is close to the Count's house. Rich diversity and history.

    I love the interaction where the guy with the hat in the back was starting to sing and Paul started singing, not realizing what had happened....the the guy in the middle then intervened and asked Paul to 'leh him geh ah verse'....and that verse was such a sweet addition! Great vibes, great interactions, great music!

    From time to time during the years I pull up this video and enjoy it immensely. Lopinot was so beautiful in the past years but when I visited last year it was a disaster. How some rehabilitation works are being done. This place is too beautiful to just neglect.

    ✍🏿 Je suis de la Martinique et j'adore cette musique de ce groupe Parang qui exprime ce qui à de plus naturel la joie de vivre, j'j'ai découvert un style de musique que j'ignorais et qui est très enrichissante et belle à écouté à tous les moments d'une journée. Merci et bravo la caraïbes pour sa richesse culturelle musicale 👋🏿👊🏿✊🏿❤️💚🖤

    Smile on my face, since my most celebrated Christmas was with my great-grand mother. Could not understand a lick of what said but it sounded real good, enough to dance and have fun. I was about 5-6yrs old. Just like right now. It had a sound of happiness to a child's ears. Enjoyable childhood memories. YEAH!!!

    2:27: Playing cuatro in the forefront on the right is Venezuelan, Jose Hernandez. He was my cuatro instructor at the Instituto Venezolano para la Cultura y Cooperacion in POS. He was very kind to me when I first started 30 years ago. I will forever be grateful for all the help he gave me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jose. Espero que esta bien.

    Trini Freeview, Trinidad is as real as they come. We the people make this country beautiful. We are the most tolerant people in the world. Although Trinidad and Tobago is considered one nation they have different histories of occupation and colonisation. I consider Trinidad one place and Tobago another. Tobagonians are different to Trinis. They have their own lifestyle, culture and accent.
