Haitian Folklore Dance and Rara Workshop with RAM

RAM presents an afternoon of dancing and drumming to explore Haitian Folklore dance and Rara (a form of festival music originating in Haiti) in conjunction with our current exhibition PÒTOPRENS: The Urban Artists of Port-au-Prince. 

RAM will perform on Sunday, September 9 from 8-10 pm during Second Sundays.

Price: Free with RSVP

Audience: Open to ages 9+

Materials: Those interested in participating in the Rara drumline must bring their own hand or percussion instrument.

RAM is a drum-roots-driven powerhouse band from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Led by the entrancing singer, Lunise, RAM combines ancient folkloric polyrhythms with punk rock guitar riffs and swinging Caribbean keyboard melodies for a truly magical experience on Thursdays at Hotel Oloffson, where RAM has consistently gigged for the last 25 years, as well as international concerts and festivals.
