RaRa in Haiti

UK pressing of this collection containing Rara music of Haiti. Rara is the music played throughout Kanaval, an anarchic Folk-meets-Punk collision of drums, voices and bamboo sticks which all create an exciting, energizing soundtrack to Kanaval in Haiti. Rara bands tour the countryside for days accosting people, car drivers and anyone in their way, demanding payment before they move on and the crowd of musicians and singers gets bigger all the time. This music was recorded by Soul Jazz Records in Port-au-Prince. Soul Jazz. 2010.
