Originating in Haiti, rara music mixes percussion instruments, saxophones, and bamboo trumpets, while weaving in funk and reggae basslines. The songs are always performed in French Creole and typically celebrate Haiti's African ancestry and the use of Voodoo. The lyrics often address difficult issues, such as political oppression or poverty. Consequently, rara groups and other musicians have been banned from performing and even forced into exile—most notably, folk singer Manno Charlemange, who later returned to Haiti and was elected mayor of Port-au-Prince in the 1990s.
