Daisy Voisin

Daisy Voisin (23 September 1924 – 7 August 1991) was a Parang singer and composer.

Life and career Voisin was born and grew up in Carapal Erin, Trinidad. She began her singing career in the Village Council and other local groups. A deeply religious person, she received the message to spread the gospel of Parang in a church in Siparia in 1973. Armed with her sweet, powerful voice and a bouquet of flowers in hand, she ruled Parang music in for countless years. Her signature songs "Hurray Hurrah" and "Alegría, Alegría" became Christmas classics, sung with her characteristic musical trill "Aiyee, Aiyee".

Her live performances were described as "explosive, vivacious and tempestuous". Voisin and her group became cultural ambassadors for Trinidad and Tobago, taking the music to places in the Caribbean, Isla de Margarita, Venezuela, and North America.

In the latter days of her life, Voisin's performances were few, hampered by ill-health, but the quality of her voice was still evident.
