From YouTube: Excerpt from the Vodou documentary, "The Living Gods of Haiti" by Maya Deren. Vodou Petwo/Kongo is popular in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Its influences are mostly from the Kongo empire. The music and dance of the Kongo peoples have influenced all sorts of secular music in Dominican Republic/Haiti and around the world, even American Jazz, Salsa, Cumbia, Samba, Palo Dominicano, and many others.
