Lovely and jazzy rara recorded in the 1970s. I could get down with this jam, the power of the drums reminds me of other Afro-diasporic processions and ritual music. The use of the horn instrument for melody instead of singing is also perfectly fine with me, since it gives it a jazzy touch. Also check out this one from the same Smithsonian Folkways compilation of rara from Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
