On this states, the tradition has established a clear difference between the aguinaldo and parranda like musical expressions. The Parranda from the coast, have a strong afrovenezuelan influence, and according to investigations made by specialist Carlos García, parrandas can be executed without furro (Friction drum), and other instruments don't having relation with the Christmas tradition. On the other hand, the parranda lyrics treats about folkloric topics, Jesus, or Christmas. One of the Venezuelan groups that have been in charge to present parranda throughout all the national geography is Un Solo Pueblo, that from 1970 have been one of the main protagonists of the diffusion, without precedents of the folk music. With the parranda “El Cucuy que alumbra”, compiled in Cuyagua, the Querales brothers - Jesus, Florentino and Ismael-, founders of the group, began an indetenible process of masification of this musical expression.
