La Parranda

A celebration of parang, this film looks at the Venezuelan roots of the music form, the different types of song performed and the various instruments used. It also considers the changes that have taken place in parang over the years, and highlights 81-year-old Wyllie Lara, the last living sibling of the famed Lara Brothers band.
