Christmas in Trinidad and Tobago "When Santa arrives in Trinidad and Tobago it fills the rhythm of Paran.The climate is warm and the flowers are blooming, this is a colorful season." Author Bill Egan This phrase Miraculously the festival is celebrated in the most unique way and explains my Christmas on the twin islands of Trinidad and Tobago which has many deep-rooted traditions. By mid-November, the Spanish capital Port store was full of early Christmas shoppers.

Paran is a music style played in Trinidad and Tobago during Christmas. It is usually played with cuatro (a small string of 4 strings) and maracas. These songs were influenced by Venezuelan tradition (near Trinidad and Tobago), but over time it became the original work of Trinidad. This music has a seasonal performance called "parang fiestas" held from October to December every year. Many social artists are producing cross music called "soca-parang"

Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost island country of the Caribbean. In 1962, Trinidad and Tobago became a former British colony and became independent in 1962. Because of its oil and gas resources it was one of the richest and most economically stable areas in the region. The population is about 3 million people and has enjoyed a stable political situation according to the system of Westminster regime. The Black Power Revolution of 1970 threatened the country's first independent government, but the attempt of a coup dictated by a group of Muslim insurgents failed.

Although the island country of Trinidad and Tobago is a crucible of culture, there is also a tension between the Afro Caribbean Sea and the Indian Caribbean, both of which have been given power both politically and economically. The population of Trinidad and Tobago is approximately 1.3 million, 95% of which are in Trinidad and 5% live in Tobago. About 39% of Trinidad island is African, 40% Indian and some European. Africans usually live in urban areas, especially in the east and west corridors, but Indians usually live in rural areas around sugarcane farms.
