Haiti is probably my favourite country in the Caribbean as far as music goes, and itβs a shame that it tends to get overshadowed by some of its neighbours (Jamaica in particular). Maybe it has something to do with language, with Haitian Creole being nowhere near as widely spoken on a global scale as English and Spanish, which are used on most of the other islands in the region.
If youβre a fan of percussion, thereβs nothing better than Haitian mizik rasin IMO, although Cuban batΓ‘ comes close.
And an honourable mention for Okonkolo, who are based in New York City but have multiple Cuban members and play a very unique interpretation of SanterΓa music:
Great knowledge of the music. Thank you!
Know very little about music from these places part from Cuba, will be interested to keep an eye on this one
