Rara
Haiti's processional street music
Rara 是海地游行街头音乐，由步行乐队在四旬斋期间特别是圣周期间演奏。它的竹喇叭、鼓和金属打击乐器在社区而不是舞台上流动，它不仅具有音乐意义，还具有宗教和社会意义。
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.
