Vaccine[1][2] (or sometimes vaksin[3][4][5]) are rudimentary single-note trumpets found in Haiti and, to a lesser extent, the Dominican Republic[6] as well as Jamaica.[5] They consist of a simple tube, usually bamboo, with a mouthpiece at one end.

They are thus also referred to as banbou[8] or bambú,[6] as well as bois bourrique[1] (or bwa bourik[11]), granboe,[12] fututo,[6] or boom pipe.[5] They are not to be confused with other Haitian handmade trumpets called konè or klewon, made of a yard-long white metal tube with a flared horn, called kata.[3][4][5]

Vaccine players are known as banboulyès.[6]

Origins

Haitian ethnographer Jean Bernard traces the vaksin back to indigenous precolonial peoples of Haiti.[8] However both Thompson[8] and Holloway[21] draw links to the single-note Bakongo bamboo trumpets called disoso, themselves originated in Mbuti hocketing music. Gillis also likens them[22] to trumpets used in Bambara broto music along the Niger, and Jamaican Kumina.

Construction

Traditionally, vaccine are made of a length of bamboo, hollowed-out and dried,[6] with a node membrane pierced[1][8][3] and wrapped with leather[27] or bicycle inner-tube rubber to form a mouthpiece at one end.[5] One or more segments are taken from higher or lower in the bamboo trunk[6] to fashion vaccines; usually more than 1m long and 5 to 7 cm in diameter.[5] Each one is cut shorter or longer in order to produce a higher or lower tone:[8][6] bas banbou is long and gives a low-pitched sound, and charlemagne banbou is short and is pitched high.[8]

McAlister explains[4] that Afro-Hispaniolan lore involves asking the bamboo plant for its use and leaving a small payment in its place. Landies witnessed this process, which she described as follows: "the harvest of the bamboo was accompanied by an offering. [...] [It] is harvested with the permission of Simbi, a Petwo Lwa who loves water, as bamboo in the Dominican Republic grows in moist land, e.g., along rivers"[6]

On occasion, iron[1][37] or plastic[8] pipes are substituted for the bamboo.

Playing

A typical vaccine band is composed of three to five players, usually marching abreast of each other.[1] Players use a method called hocketing, whereby each individual blows a single tone rhythmically to create an ostinato motif together.[3][8] These motifs are usually composed through a process of group improvisation.[8]

To keep rhythm, vaccine players also beat a rhythmic timeline, called kata[3] with a long stick on the side of the tube, making the instrument both melodic and percussive.[1][8]

Tuning and scale

Within an ostinato, vaccine tones stack up in approximate third intervals to each other—creating tritones and arpeggiated diminished

chords, but without a harmonic intent[5]—with the two treble-most vaccines often tuned a semitone apart.[8] Landies also reports[6] other intervals between the lowest two voices. One of the vaccine serves as the tonal center of the motif.[5]

Uses

Most importantly, vaccines are a key component of rara orchestras. In his 1941 article, Courlander wrote that rara bands "seldom have drums and depend almost entirely on vaccines";[1] though both Lomax's mid-1930s[37] and McAllister's early 1990s[8][4] found many more instruments—mostly percussive—as part of rara orchestras.

Scholars also report vaccines used as signal horns by parties of agricultural workers,[1][3] fishermen,[1] stevedores[37] as well as sometimes used in dances of the Congo cycle.[1]
