"Same thing. RaRa is a continuation of a hoodooism ceremony on foot or band style. In a ceremony azor would fix considered the hougan. He is faithful to talk to the lwa thru singing. In ceremonies only the beat is used mostly. But right back the voodoo ceremony all the greensward would get on foot, with primacy additional instrument like the vaksin, formation the rara. So they can uproar to the cemetery to pay obeisance to the dead. Unlike band deft pied, rara only come out textile voodoo season in december."
