Voodoo drums, Metal trumpets which are made from recycled metal, bamboo trumpets, Vaksin (vaccine) the vaccine perform repeating patterns in hocket and often strike their instruments rhythmically with a stick while blowing into them,
But now a days the Haitian folk instruments are rarely used, they're replaced by electromechanical. instruments such as Drum Machine Keyboard/Keytar, Bass guitars, KeyBass, Drum set, Percussions, Loops, Sequencers which make RaRap much easier and less expensive to produce than Rara music performed on traditional Haitian folk musical instruments.

KompArefait, is a Haitian Kompa cover or replayed version of vintage or old-school Haitian Kompa songs that are sang in French-Creole.
The name is a portmanteau of Kompa and (Refait) which stands for remake in French, or (Konparefè) in Haitian Creole.
It's a new performance or recording by someone other than the original artist or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song.
Usually, the recording process include a lead singer, back up vocalists and one or two other musicians singing over a backing track composed by session or studio musicians who happen to add their tracks one by one from remote location.
A notable ensemble for this kind of collaboration work is Gimpsy! Gimpsi! Gimpsé!, a collective of Kompa and Beat session musicians based in New York City.
The musicians are often used as "ghost players" on many Kompa recordings.

Wow! Who would've thought that the new KompArefait versions of all those old-school recordings of Haitian female singers from the early 70s and 80s would become more popular with the new generations of Haitian kids than the originals?
