MIAMI - eMusicWire -- Miami, FL – Iconic Haitian roots band Rara Lakay, a cornerstone of cultural pride in Miami since 2003, proudly announces the release of their first official track, "Pou Ayiti" (For Haiti). This powerful and thought-provoking song, written by Rotshild Festa, Woosny Grange, and Luvertu Rene, with vocals by Gerald Alexis, boldly addresses Haiti's ongoing challenges while critiquing the nation's leadership.
With its heartfelt lyrics and signature Rara rhythms, Pou Ayiti vividly captures the frustration and despair of a nation struggling with instability and social injustices. The song calls for justice and meaningful change, resonating with audiences both within Haiti and throughout the diaspora.
Rooted in Haitian history, Rara music traces its origins to the colonial era on the island of Hispaniola, evolving as a cultural response to European Mardi Gras celebrations. Traditionally performed during the Lenten season, Rara features dynamic rhythms and unique instruments, including bamboo trumpets (vaksin), drums, maracas, and metal bells, which together create a sound synonymous with resilience and resistance.
