1. A Venezuelan genre of music with African influences and drumming.
   • 2008 March 16, Jon Pareles, “Sounds Soft and Tough, and a Star in the Trunk”, in New York Times‎:

     The nonpurist result is world-music fusion, linking the Central American parranda and punta to African and Latin pop, flamenco, even electric blues.

Probably a derivation of the synonym farra.^[1] Attested at least since 1858.

• IPA^(key):

parranda f (plural parrandas)

1. spree, party, jamboree, carousal

   Synonyms: esmorga, farra, gandaina, troula, xolda

   Cando vaias de parranda / non te esquezas do caneco / bótalle un litro de viño / non che vaia quedar seco (folk song)

   Whenever you go in a spree / don't forget about your pitcher / put a litre of wine in it / lest it be dry
