the best concept album about telepathy of 2013 (so far)
From the album blurb: "RARA is the anarchic, vibrant street music of Haiti where singers and musicians blow metre-long hollow plastic and metal horns to the accompaniment of drums. Rara groups roam through the towns and countryside stopping everything - cars, passers-by, trucks - blocking the way and enticing dancers as they march. Rara's energy derives from its revolutionary confrontation of the prennial economic, racial, and class inequalities in Haitian society, with music as its weaponry."

Reissue, originally came out in 1972 - from Light In The Attic's website: "Over the years, her career has seen collaborations with the likes of noted jazz musicians like saxophonist Albert Ayler, bassist Gary Peacock (her first husband), pianist Paul Bley (her second), and percussionists Airto Moriera, and Han Bennink, among others. She’s whispered sensually and wailed ferociously to backing by rock stalwarts like guitarists Mick Ronson, Brian Godding, and Chris Spedding as well as Yes/King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford, using a combination of sung and spoken deliveries that predated popular rap styles by more than ten years."
