Rasin is a musical movement that began in Haïti in 1987 when musicians began combining elements of traditional Haïtian vodou ceremonial and folkloric music with rock and roll. This style of modern music reaching back to the roots of vodou tradition came to be called mizik rasin (roots music) in Kreyòl or musique racine in French. In context the movement is often referred to simply as rasin or racine.
