Franco haitiano

The Franco-Haitiano tradition in Cuba reflects the cultural heritage of Haitian migrants, blending African, Haitian, and Cuban influences in music and dance:

  • Gaga: A vibrant, processional dance with Haitian roots, featuring drums, bamboo trumpets, and call-and-response singing.
  • Nago: A rhythmic Afro-Haitian dance of Yoruba origin, emphasizing percussive beats and energetic footwork.
  • Vodou: A sacred dance tradition tied to Haitian Vodou ceremonies, blending ritual movement with spiritual music.
