Rara
Haiti's processional street music
Ang Rara maoy Haitianhong prosesyon nga musika sa dalan, nga gipatokar sa naglakawng mga banda panahon sa Kuwaresma ug ilabina latas sa Semana Santa. Ang mga sungay niini nga bamboo eksin, tambol ug metal basalon molatas sa mga silinganan inay kay mga hugna, ug kini adunay relihiyoso ug sosyal nga kahulogan sama ra sa musika.
Origin & history
Rara is a festival tradition of rural and urban Haiti, tied to the Lenten season and to Haitian Vodou, performed by bands that process on foot through the streets.
Its instruments include the vaksin — single-note bamboo or metal trumpets played in interlocking groups so that the melody exists only between the players, never in any one of them.
