Episode notes

Rara is more than music with a melodic beat. Rara is spirit, Rara is resistance, and Rara is celebration. In this episode, we trace Rara’s role in Haitian Vodou, its spiritual significance, and its use as a tool for community empowerment and political protest. Through rhythm and ritual, Rara carries ancestral memory and collective strength.
