This will be followed by a percussion workshop and a demonstration of the rara/gaga in the colonial zone of the Dominican capital. Present throughout the Haitian territory, the Rara adopts various forms which have earned it its registration, since 2019, in the Haitian Intangible Cultural Heritage Register of the Ministry of Culture, as "Rara and its various territorial manifestations". In the Dominican Republic, the Rara arrived at the beginning of the 20th century with Haitian migrants who worked mainly in sugar factories. Subsequently, the Rara evolved and mixed with local religiosity to become a full-fledged cultural manifestation of Dominican popular culture called Gagá which differentiated it from the Haitian "Rara". Note that the "Gagá" or "Gaggá" is a Haitian-Cuban rhythm derived from the Haitian "Rara" https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-36462-icihaiti-music-gaga-groups-in-cuba-and-the-dr-video.html Composition of the Haitian delegation : Foot band Follow Jah (14 members).
