Alain Alcouffe and I will resume our series on Adam Smith in Switzerland in the next day or two, but in the meantime I am sharing my love of the parranda, a Puerto Rican musical tradition that takes place during the Christmas holiday season, which in Puerto Rico lasts until the “Fiestas de San Sebastian” in mid-January! While I agree with Sabrina Carpenter that too many Christmas songs are way overplayed, for some nostalgic reason I never tire of parrandas. ¡Feliz Nochebuena!
