    Only in Trinidad an English speaking country would they be singing in Spanish on a French Heritage Site in Lopinot. That area is close to the Count's house. Rich diversity and history.

    ✍🏿 Je suis de la Martinique et j'adore cette musique de ce groupe Parang qui exprime ce qui à de plus naturel la joie de vivre, j'j'ai découvert un style de musique que j'ignorais et qui est très enrichissante et belle à écouté à tous les moments d'une journée. Merci et bravo la caraïbes pour sa richesse culturelle musicale 👋🏿👊🏿✊🏿❤️💚🖤

I was about 5-6yrs old. Just like right now. It had a sound of happiness to a child's ears. Enjoyable childhood memories. YEAH!!!

He was very kind to me when I first started 30 years ago. I will forever be grateful for all the help he gave me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jose. Espero que esta bien.

    Trini Freeview, Trinidad is as real as they come. We the people make this country beautiful. We are the most tolerant people in the world. Although Trinidad and Tobago is considered one nation they have different histories of occupation and colonisation. I consider Trinidad one place and Tobago another. Tobagonians are different to Trinis. They have their own lifestyle, culture and accent.
