PETRO: Haiti, Petro is a very POWERFUL drum beat that can transform a BLACK person into a very POWERFUL monster and capable of distroying a whole City in one night. But only if you have African blood in your veins. Mostly, PETRO is heard at midnight. Choose not to go out, please. At midnight PETRO drum beat means DANGER.When you hear PETRO drum beat 5 miles away.it is 500 feet closer.Then you may be surrounded by BIZANGO (Chanpwel) ZANGBETO, Benin, Africa ;and you're gonna loose yr mind soon.

[mkl163]

PETRO : Petro is a drum beat that means DANGER when you hear it around midnight in Haiti. Don't go out. the danger is when you hear the PETRO beat 5 miles away, it is about 500 feet closer. Then, the street is quickly occupied by midnight BIZANGO( Chanpwel or Zobop). In Africa, we call it, ZANGBETO. BIZANGO comes out once a year. All you hear is a big blowing of wind in which 101 people are initiated. The Master can lead this group to the crossing of a big stream by feet without being wet

[mkl163]

OK, LISTEN... WEATHER YOU'RE IN GHANA, IN BENIN, IN TOGO, SENEGAL OR NIGERIA, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT. IN HAITI, DRUM IS NOT ONLY AN INSTRUMENT, BUT ALSO A POTENTIAL LANGUISTIC TOOL USED TO COMMUNICATE WITH DIVIDED TRIBES MEMBERS DURING SLAVERY ERA IN HAITI. WE ALSO USED SEA-SHELS IN CREOLE,(LANBI). THE MASTER LANBI BLOWER IS CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATE WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. ALSO THE MASTER DRUMMER IS CAPABLE OF SENDING MESSAGE THROUGH DRUM TO THE OTHER MASTERS FROM MOUNTAINS

[MrHalohalo85]

@mkl163 the drums have the same use in West Africa. Especially in rural areas, when someone dies, or is born, or is married, or is missing, or if there is any news.. it is communicated by the drums so that all can hear, even those in other areas. the drums communicate the news so quickly that people know whats going on even before the news reaches the local radio station or TV channels. In this way, many Africans still understand the language of the drums from childhood.

[jeanmysgrl]

And why isn't it Haitian?

[crilin25]

that's not haitien music at all

[3584817]

It's incredible!!

[odemata87]

can you not hear the traditions speak and to connections to Ghana and Benin a lot of which has been persevered in Haiti whether it Yanvalou, Parigol, Zepol, Mahi or Fla and kongo.

[CrowdPleeza]

That was tite. That's gotta be some of the best drumming on the planet.

[MatthewLute]

Excellent. That's the real deal. Good work.

[louisenumbr1]

Secondly I am looking for any info on how to skin and tune this drum.

A member of our drum community brought one along a couple of months ago. She had received it as a gift from Africa many years ago. Sadly the skin had completely come away so we have no way of figuring out how to reskin or tune it!

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

[louisenumbr1]

This is beautiful. Thank you for posting. I am looking for some help! firstly I would like to know the name of the larger stick drum being played by the guy wearing the 'addict' t-shirt' Is it a Ewe drum?

[ROPIXI]

Bel bagay.

[pasghana]

Wonderful. I can clearly hear Gahu being mentioned in the second song. It is a folk song sang in Ghana, Togo, Benin and the Eastern parts of Nigeria. Yes, we have connection and this expresses the power of culture.

[realgallis]

but of course we have connection when the africans slaves where taken to haiti they can already with there gods. We serve Afrique Gineh

[MrTiKenny]

@pasghana I love that my Haitian culture is still so close to the African culture.

[CxplorerV2]

[JossieWossie]

[africabongo]

tremendamente buen folclor

[rhythmbridge]

awesome

[fravilmarr]

Save our real culture! tank you so much. we are kombit people, rara people,never forget that! to be afraid of it; is to be afraid of yourself or to lose yourself. Embrace our real culture than we shall rise again. Let's not pretend we're european this is our true culture...we are not catholics and we don't play guitars...we are drum people...

[choreograffiti]

u know... the guitar was originally invented in Africa. it is not a european instrument.

why do you think blues hits with the guitar so well?

[manuelissimo]

this is so good!|!!!

[ayife]

bon bagay

[rta321]

Bonswa mwen fanmi!!!

The rhythms are as follows; Rada (Yanvalou) followed by Petro and then Kongo...

[fransou19]

Yes ibo,congo,and a little yanvalou.But the fast kind you dance when you snake bellydance your tummy and spin like drunk,foot specially work hard in these dance in the hips for the ladies and use a lot the arm and hand for expression and face. I miss my folklore work out when can I found their cd to practice.

[fransou19]

mizik en deyo toujou pi solid.Rasin always remind me the province.Pure.

[KChery]

that was real Haitian drum beating. Rasin the cultural music of Haiti.

[leonardgarthbrooks]

This is downright awesome!

I would love to know which pieces these are, or which part of the rite they are from. As far as I know this is the RADA batterie, so these would probably be from the Rada ceremony.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Leo

[darthurlink]

Sounds to me like Yanvalou, Ibo and Congo.

[leonardgarthbrooks]

I had the same thoughts. The first is Yanvalou for sure.
