| | PUERTO RICO HERALD: One Huge Parranda Bash: The Festival of the Innocents in Moca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Well, about this parranda thing, there are some folk out there who know how to do it right. |
 | | These days, the parrandas are roughly divided by barrios or sector of the municipality; there are 9 of them: Los Amigos Unidos, Los Compadres, Los Nietos de Papá, La Selecta, Las Botas de Gallo, Los Viejos de Siempre, La Nueva Genuina, Los Ruiseñores de la Loma and La Clásica. |
 | | The masks are made of cloth and painted in bright colors, and the "pavas," or straw hats are adorned with sequins, an array of fake flowers and everything else that twinkles bright under the hot "wintry" sun. |
