Euro-Kompa, a portmanteau of "European and Kompa"), It's often referred to as "White Kompa" a term used to describe Haitian Kompa music sung by artist or singers of European descent.
Euro-Kompa usually Features a lead vocalist and 2-3 backing Vocalists and sometime a guest vocalist usually a Euro-Rap-Singer who 'd contribute a guest verse during a bridge resulting in song lengths ranging from 3-4 minutes depending on the tempo.
Electromechanically produced by live traditional Kompa jam-session musicians which are also often mistakenly referred to as “GIGGERS”by other “KNOW-IT-ALL” in the Haitian Music Industry.
Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a variants format which emphasize the song's melody and harmonies.
Unlike Haitian Kompa Direct which is very lyric-oriented-the lyrics in Euro-Kompa songs don’t usually have any deep meaning- often the lyrics are frivolous.
Euro-Kompa generally dance to a mid-tempo 90-115 BPM (beats per minute) with a 1-2 -1-2 Beat and with an arrangements of a 4/4 or four-on-the-floor time Signature which always encourages dancing due to it’s use of dance-oriented rhythms.
The origins of the genre and term was pioneered by Negre Marron Records' CEO and label Director Rene Guemps.
