Origins

Rabòday[7] emerged in the mid-2000s and was inspired by Rasin music, which is the mixture of traditional Haitian rhythms and with pop-rock music since the 1980s. As in Rasin, Rabòday talks about society's problems.[1] A high-octane mélange of electronic sounds, live syncopated rhythms and politically charged lyrics, Raboday music was spearheaded by Fresh La, Haitian pop singer and leader of the band Vwadèzil. It has become the defining sound of a generation of young Haitians recovering from a major natural disaster: the devastating 2010 earthquake.[8]

Rhythm

Rabòday has a 4/4 dance rhythm.[1]
