French colonial Movement





Unlike the Spanish and the British the French managed to colonise few countries, the most relevent to this topic is Haiti. Haiti lies in the Caribbean Ocean, a small island that people know it mainly for the Voodoo practice or in french Vodou. Vodou is also a genre that is used during worship or rituals, the Vodou as it was mentioned in the entry ealier that it is has the Clave rythem.


The Video is a preview of how the Vodou sounds like, it has the same rhythem as the African tribal music. And the drumming is similar to the some of the Clave influenced rythems.




The next entry, will be moving down south to the Latin America, mainly Brazil which is where the last Slavery movement that will be discussed.
