About Parang Cancionero: A Handbook Of Trinidad Parang
Parang Cancionero is an invaluable handbook of the lyrics of Trinidad-Hispanic songs for parang practitioners and aficionados; and a source of information for academics and the general reader. The book explains the genres of these indigenous Spanish folksongs within a Hispanic context and examines their historical links with Venezuela. The author began recording and collecting these lyrics in 1967, and draws on the wealth of songs and knowledge of other collectors, composers and practitioners. Both traditional and more modern songs are recorded in the book with side by side English translations. The book illustrates the rich complexity and morphology of the parang song and is an essential handbook for the modern composer and practitioner, particularly those not familiar with Spanish versification.
