The Haiti Danse Chorus: 12 girls, who both dance and sing.

The Haiti Danse Orchestra:
 3 Rada Drums (white magic): The first called the “mama” talks and is never touched with sticks — only beaten with the hands; the second, called the “second” accompanies, and the third, the “boula” (the baby) keeps a fast rythm.
 3 Vaccines: Bamboo horns, each with a single note. These are blown singly or in unison — or can be struck or rapped with small sticks.
 Sticks: Small sticks clacked together or used for beating the “boula” or striking the vaccines
 Tchatcha: Gourdlike instruments, rattled or shaken
 Flute: Of French origin (17th Centrury) — has four notes. The flute is not used in ancient Voodoo music.
