You might not think of Christmas carols when visiting Trinidad or Tobago, but from October to January, singers go from house to house singing Parang, a song style identified with these tropical Caribbean islands. Similar in intent to Christmas caroling, Parang bands, or "Parenderos," consist of about five singers and musicians who play guitar, mandolin, violin, cello, clapper, claves, tiple, guiro, and maracas.
