@john4 Hi, Nice meeting you! Quite interesting topic. I discovered it with the help of @BryWisteria and I feel very happy to share Haitian rhythm with you. You will get familiar too with our mother tongue which is creole. It’s a little jazzy and I can say we cannot but dance while listening to them. The main religion for these sounds is Voodoo. Their priestess is called Mambo. I have heard previously the expression: Voodoo Witch. I think Mambo also is how they called themselves.
Some spirits such as Ogou, Lasirèn (Mermaid), Baron( Cimetery spirit), Gede (Celebrated in November who embodies sex and leisure), and many more are depicted in these videos. We have old singers and also newbies and juvenile sounds which explained the Techno part and rap.
@mary25 It would be fun if you leave a chapter about the Haitian carnival to talk with the kids. Very colorful and entertaining event.
Here are some hits that I often hear. We have the band: Ram with Lumise, Racine Mapou with Azor. The artists : Ayiiti, Kanis, Weena…
