Colleen Grant – Latin Parang

( Barbados , 1980 , RH Productions )

posted on 24 / 11 / 2024

For today, I wanted to share with you “Latin Parang“, a sweet balearic Island Latin Soul Funk track backed with bewitching voices, one of its kind blend of Calypso, Soca, Disco & Folk flavors, taken from a very hard to find double sider recorded in 1980 by the mysterious composer & musician Colleen Grant (any infos are welcome !).

This title is referring to Parang music, a style of Folk music from Venezuelan and Colombian immigrants that came to the Caribbean, and evolved to include elements of Latin music, Disco and Soca. Although traditionally used to be played during the festive season in Trinidad and Tobago, Parang Music continues to heat up dancefloors all year round.

Hope you’ll like it, enjoy !
