Sex, death, revolution, and voodoo: the sound of Haitian Carnival.
"Rara" is the name of the music that accompanies Carnival in Haiti—an anarchic folk-punk fusion of drums, vocals, and bamboo horns that provides the soundtrack for public ecstasy in this beleaguered island nation. In Haiti, this is no mere tourist-friendly folklore, but a shocking blend of sex, death, revolution, and voodoo. During Carnival season, Rara bands roam the countryside for days on end, playing for everyone—whether they want to hear it or not. The recordings for *Rara In Haiti: Street Music Of Haiti* were made in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, prior to the earthquake; the album complements two other releases from the Soul Jazz label that explore Haitian music: *Spirits Of Life – Haitian Vodou* and *Voodoo Drums*.
"Recorded in Port-au-Prince, featuring musicians who literally stop traffic in Haiti with their edgy, rousing and hypnotic dance music. Rara is both a distinctive style, with its roots in Africa's slavery days, and the name give to parades in which crowds dance through the streets following bands, in events that can be political or religious.
This is DIY music at its best, with percussion instruments made from bottles, sticks or old car parts; konet horns, made from the flattened tin of food cans, and vaksins, constructed from lengths of bamboo or even plastic water pipes.
The result is a furious noise that sounds at times as if football fans were attempting psychedelic marching tunes on vuvuzelas, with lengthy passages of repeated riffs against drumming and chanting vocals. There are similarities with bands in present-day Kinshasa that use homemade instruments to create trance music." (The Guardian)
