Haiti_19751977___Part_1_of_2

I first went to Haiti in 1975 with my husband, Bradford Graves. We went during Holy Week - the days between Holy Sunday and Easter - which is also the time of Rara. \nWe also were able to attend several vodou ceremonies and were permitted to record.\nThe vodou ceremony we recorded was released on Folkways - VODUN: RADA RITE FOR ERZULIE - HAITI, Folkways FE 4491. 1976 and now available on Smithsonian Folkways.\nI returned to Haiti in 1976 and 1977 accompanied by Ramon Perez and we continued to record Rara and this was also released as RARA IN HAITI - GAGA IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, \nFolkways 4531. 1978 - also available now as a CD on Smithsonian Folkways.\nI produced a short 15 film on Rara for the Brooklyn Museum/\nContact me for more information\nhttp://www.vernagillis.com
