Haiti - Culture : «Rara Fanm Band», a group exclusively of women
01/04/2013 11:12:09

Wednesday, April 3, the Knowledge and Freedom Foundation (FOKAL), will receive the group "Rara Fanm Band" at 6 p.m. Founded by Dieuvela Etienne, "Rara Fanm Band" is a group exclusively of women inspired by Rara, handling drums, vocals and other instruments.

This group of a dozen women, is linked to the association "Atelier Toto B", who has worked for 7 years in the promotion of female talent. "Rara Fanm" enjoys a good popularity in Haiti. The band has an album and several music videos.

"Rara Fanm" interprets voodoo singing, with accents of jazz and opera, French songs rehabilitated to the percussion Creole, a fusion clear, beautiful and captivating dances.

Rara has always brought together women as choreutes,queens chanterelles and flags holders. But at the heart of the orchestra, we found only men ! The emergence of "Rara Fanm" as female orchestra has broken this gender barrier, by creating an alternative between the groups rara mixed, men and women.

The invitation cards can be withdrawn to the reception of FOKAL from this Monday 1st April.
