Sanch Electronix Limited (SANCH) to launch the Virtual Concert La Evolución de Parranda ‘Evolution of Parang’
SANCH invites audiences around the world to watch the virtual concert La Evolución de Parranda (‘Evolution of Parang’)
As The National Parang Association of Trinidad and Tobago (NPATT) celebrates its Golden Jubilee under the auspices of and in partnership with ExporTT

Parang is debatably the second oldest musical folk artform originating from the Caribbean’s twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the first being Calypso. It is said to be brought by Venezuelan migrants of mainly Amerindian, African, and Spanish heritage, which accounts for the dominant use of Venezuela’s cuatro and maracas. Heard predominantly at Christmas time, it is a music staple, countrywide, with many Parang groups going from house-to-house (Carolling) to the extent that Parang has become traditional in many West Indian communities worldwide.

“La Evolución de Parranda” Virtual Concert will be streamed online Saturday, January 8th, 2022, from 5 pm to 7 pm EDT. The concert will feature traditional Parang Groups performing Parang favourites, where audiences will enjoy the harmonious blending of the structured use of classical instruments with the folk freedom and cultural identity of their Parang counterparts.

The world’s first Parang Orchestra conducted by Dr. Mia Gormandy-Benjamin PhD, Associate Professor of Music at UTT- The University of Trinidad and Tobago will be a featured spotlight. Dr Gormandy -Benjamin has performed in many countries worldwide including Austria, Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Japan and USA.

The Evolution of Parang celebrates its Golden Jubilee of The National Parang Association of Trinidad and Tobago (NPATT)! It was recognized that orchestral music, from the classical and romantic periods to present time, has recently been fused with other modern genres such as Rock, Latin and our own Soca, making it palatable to other cultures and engaging international audiences. Therefore, NPATT created a 'Parang Orchestra', the brainchild of President - Ms. Alicia Jaggasar.

The artform’s signature sound has evolved with contributions from stalwarts Papa Guhn (Lopinot Serenaders), Los Alcranes, The Lara Brothers, Gloria Alcazar (San Jose Serenaders), Daisy Voisin (La Divina Pastora), and more recently, Sharlene Flores (The Legendary Flores de San Jose), Cristo Adonis (Rebuscar) and Alicia Jaggasar (Los Alumnos De San Juan). Parang icons toured worldwide, and even won Regional and International Awards, so the concept of a 'Parang Orchestra' is not surprising.

Sanch Electronix Ltd proudly invites audiences worldwide to the La Evolución de Parranda ‘Evolution of Parang’ concert with the hosting organizations to share this most auspicious Golden Jubilee Virtual Event.

La Evolución de Parranda ‘Evolution of Parang’ concert will be showcased globally in conjunction with ExporTT and Sanch Electronix Ltd - host and participant respectively at the Trinidad and Tobago Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai - on Saturday 8th January 2022, 5:00 P.M. EST
