[VIDEO] Despacito – The Trini Christmas Parang remix

Luis Fonsi’s ‘Despacito’ broke the Internet in 2017! From Major Lazer and MOSKA’s EDM version to the debatably hilarious I Wear Speedos remix, this song invaded our radios for the majority of the year and spewed a slew of remakes. Very much like salt, Trinis were sure to get in on the action.

Check out the beautiful and creative vocals of Trinidad and Tobago’s very own Parranderos, Los Alumnos De San Juan, in their festive take of Despacito. Listen as they put a traditional parang twist that embodies everything that makes Trini Christmas the best.

Despacito Parang – Los Alumnos De San Juan remix

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)

Si, yes it’s the time of the year where we love to share

With our friends and family, fans and foes

Ah Si, the days are shorter, nights longer, the atmosphere

Filled with love and laughter, joy and care.

(Here’s what) Look we getting ready to head up to Lopinot

D traffic man we pull up and we ready for d show

We going and we don’t want to miss Los Alumnos (yeah, yeah, yeah yeah)

Then we getting ready to head up to Paramin

When 5 in d morning we still paranging

If yuh love yuh parang, lemme see yuh do so.

(Chorus)

Despacito

It is Christmas time right here in sweet Trinbago

We getting ready for the birth of Jesuchristo

(Bridge)

I never wanna spend a Christmas away from mi isla bella (oh, oh)
