Salt of the Earth explores one facet of Trinidad's culture through this ancient music tradition called Parang and the ones who make it survive, the parrenderos and Holly Betaudier, a fantastic television producer and presenter.   The music sets the pace for the discovery of the island's beauty, its history, its landscapes and its people.
