g) ♭5 in “Rara” music and the “Natif” concept

When reading a little bit about musicology, I was surprised to find out that the ♭5 was banned by the Catholic Church because they have declared it devilish. This ♭5 is widely hit by the vaksin in “Rara” music. It might have been also one of the reasons why they went after voodoo with such a bloody toughness. In the next song, this attenuation of the 5th sounds very interesting.
