It is my pleasure to link to <a href="http://micuatro.com/acordes/?s=rio+manzanares" rel="nofollow">El Cuatro Venezolano.</a> It is one of my favourite blogs and a treasure trove for cuatristos. <br /><br />Yes, I believe our word "<i>parang</i>" is a contraction of the word "<i>parranda</i>". We use it as a noun and a verb, so where you would conjugate "<i>parrandear</i>", we use "<i>to parang</i>" instead. More recently the word "<i>parranda</i>" is also being used locally in the newer compositions so it would be interesting to see if it eventually becomes an alternative for "<i>parang</i>." <br /><br />Adrian, if you have any additional information about the song "Rio Manzanares" or any of the "<i>parang</i>" songs listed on this site, please let me know. Those of us who play the music and love the history are always interested in learning more about the origins of the older songs which came to us from Venezuela and other South American countries.<br /><br />Thanks again for communicating. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />Blessings to you and yours.Guanaguanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633889363662650322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22112793.post-73143426136898903972011-12-19T20:25:29.873-05:002011-12-19T20:25:29.873-05:00*parang .
