OLDIES SUNDAY (Christmas): Scrunter – De Parang Now Start

It’s that time of year when Ham is being sold for record-high prices, and crates of Sodas and Beers are being ordered. It’s Christmas time on Oldies Sunday. In Trinidad and Tobago, Parang is recognized (this year celebrates 45 years of Soca Parang), and for today’s selection, we go there to check out Scrunter’s “De Parang Now Start“.

Produced by Earl Crosby and released through JW Production, Scrunter celebrates the Christmas season in “De Parang Now Start”. Backed by great production, Scrunter shares lyrics about what Christmas time means to him, what is expected during the season, and invites everyone to partake and have fun. This track will have you dancing throughout, and if this doesn’t give you fond thoughts, you’re not listening hard enough. “De Parang Now Start” quickly became a popular track, and was featured on the compilation album, “A Decade Of Scrunter: De Parang Now Start“.

Scrunter is still active in music, and has been hailed as the “King Of Soca Parang“. It was rumoured last year of his passing, but he is still making his rounds, and showing up for Parang. Stay tuned to this platform for another holiday offering on Oldies Sunday!
