Salt of the Earth explores one facet of Trinidad’s culture through the music tradition of parang and the performers responsible for its survival – the parranderos as well as beloved television presenter, Holly Betaudier. The music sets the pace for the discovery of the island’s beauty, its history, its landscape and its people. This is a journey into Trinidad’s past to better understand how an English-speaking country has managed to keep and continue a centuries-old Spanish tradition.
