Rara
Haiti's processional street music
Rara on Haiti processional tänavamuusika, mida mängivad kõndivad bändid paastu ajal ja eriti läbi Püha nädala. Bambuse Vaksin sarved, trummid ja metallist löökpillid liiguvad läbi naabruskonna, mitte etapid, ja see kannab religioosset ja sotsiaalset tähendust sama palju kui muusikaline.
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.
