THE sweet sounds of cuatro and maracas and voices in harmony echoed through San Raphael on October 25, as the National Parang Association of Trinidad and Tobago (NPATT) made its third stop in the 2025 Parang Festival.

Aptly themed: El Poder de La Parranda – The Power of Parang, the evening was a reminder that not even the rain could dampen the spirit of the season.

Under the watchful gaze of the San Raphael RC Church, the community came alive with the aroma of pastelle, the warmth of fellowship and the rhythm of traditional parang.
