    wow the haitians do have the exact same rythm like the tribe of the Ewe‘s (Ghana, Togo and Benin). And also the drumming is quite similar to our tribe, they also use „Kpanlogo“ as we call it. Greetings from an ghanaian ewe 🇬🇭

      Joshua you do not ķnow that Haiti is a little Africa in the middle of the American Continent. We are black as you are. Our grandparents came from 39 africans states and different tribes.
      We do not need a DNA to identify ourselves and we do not care about the states we came from.
      Only one thing. We are black . Descendant of slaves from Africa. We are Africans born in america in a place call HAITI.
      We are more African than you are overthere.

      @@Joshua-pn7re because we cherish the culture normally an we know more about africa than you do. This african way in Haiti and proud to be africans Whatever we do, come from that continent.
      All our dance moves and drums came from there with just a little change. We do not need to travel ta africa to know about it because ours grandparents have left the documentary as a reminder of where we from. We are children of traitre des noirs. We know our histories and stories but the tribes' names. But we do not care. J
      We jus know that we are Africans not because we are blacks but also we live the african ways
      We night be from the same tribe..
      in Haiti we do not need DNA, when you are black you are definitely africans descents and we embrace you as a family.
      You should not have to ask me that question if you have known your history.
      In the Americas, slavery started in HAITI. And it stopped in haiti.
      This country was the pathway to stopping the TRADE. HAITI HAS MADE THE SACRIFY TO FREE BLACH PEOPLE

    They start with Yanvalou, then Ibo, then Kongo. These are mostly the rada drums, the Manman (lead), the boula (or Katabu) playing the ups like the kagan, then the segon on the congas (often played on a carved drum with a bowed stick called agida), and the painted drums are Kongo drums, but here are played as the boss part (like the tamalin). The first song with the drums is the traditional invocation to Papa Legba.

    From the left, boula (third drum), segon (second drum), ogan (bell), manman (lead drum), and bas (bass drums). The manman does the fancy stuff, the segon plays a counterpoint to the manman, the boula, ogan, and bas provide the foundation.

      HAITIAN are mixed from pretty much 21 nation in Africa now. We just have it in us. As HAITIAN, we never know the drums, it's sounds to us.

    Not bad, but there are more complicated parts to these rhythms that they are not playing.
