Here's a link to a YouTube video clip on a band playing and singing parang, and couples doing different dances to the music:
Here's an excerpt that explains the referent "Maracas-Saint Joseph"
"Maracas-Saint Joseph is a colloquial name used in Trinidad and Tobago to distinguish the Maracas Valley above the town of Saint Joseph from Maracas Beach. Maracas-Saint Joseph is one of the large valleys on the southern side of the Northern Range, while Maracas Beach lies on the opposite side of the mountains".
