La Bande à Pied Follow Jah (Haïti)

Rara Vodou

Once you encounter the rhythm of this Haitian marching band, you are sure to dance as if you were possessed by Loas - local vodou spirits. Bande à Pied Follow Jah is made up of the rightful heirs of rara, a musical style originally from Haiti. This is your chance to discover an instrument called vaksen, essentially a cylindrical trumpet made out of bamboo. At the core of this musical genre are repetitive sounds that can evoke trance-like states. Take the plunge!
