Xmas Instruments: Maracas

Caribbean beats are all the more danceable with these chac-chacs.

It’s about time we discovered The Annual Christmas Album Band, even if it’s only with the distant parody “Little Maraca Boy.”

Finally parang arrive care of Afeisha Brown (ft. Kiegs). With d’ box bass, d’ toc toc and d’ maracas in dey hands they jump around for “Jam D’ Parang.” It’s family friendly, though, so no over drinking.

The Ragged Flags would care to lure you down south where the dolphins play. You may enjoy “Crackers and Caracas” but this is New Age Island, so it’s a head trip of enlightenment.
