Our best-selling bilingual board book Sounds of Haiti - Instruments paired with 3 iconic Rara instruments. 

Raras are Haitian street bands that pop-up normally during the easter season. The lively musicians walk for miles begging locals to come join in the festivities. The same genre is used in the Dominican Republic, and is called Gaga.
