Kompa Indirèk is a modern style of the Haitian Compas Direct (Haitian Créole Konpa Dirèk), “the percussion-heavy, rhythmic dance music“ of Haiti that emphasizes musical instruments and features very little or no singing with elements of Sook, KomPop, Compas and Blues, Frenglish R&B and Kompa-Forró.
The physical typical musical instruments are rarely used and are replaced to smaller outfits featuring the use of electronic music technology, such as Drums kits, Electric Bass, Keybass/ Electric Guitars, Keytars, Synthesiser, samplers, electronic percussion, backing track, Sequencers, Drum Machine, Loops, Sound effects, EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument, Keytar, Keybass, MIDI, Drum machines, Melody, Personal computers and Digital Audio Workstations (DAW).
Other elements which are played by electromechanical musical instruments include:
One soukous-like sinuous twining lead guitar and the other one is a trebly rhythm guitars and the pulsing repeated melodic basslines.
Some common structures and forms in Kompa Indirèk instrumentals are:
Intro Hook / Rhythm Hook / Drop Chorus / Rhythm Hook / Drop Chorus / Background Instrumental Hook / Drop Chorus / Outro Hook.
Any Music listeners who only enjoyed listening to Compas Direct or Zouk will also enjoy Kompa Indirèk

Get the Pho Indy mug.The first people of North America. The word Indian has slid into uncomfortableness because of political correctness, but chill, Indians themselves prefer Indian over Native American. The reason being is that Native American can mean any indigenous inhabitant of the Americas, whereas Indian is used just for the first people of US and Canada. NOT OFFENSIVE.
Use Indian or American Indian (not Indian American) to refer to the first people of US and Canada
Use Native American or Amerindian to refer to the first people of North and South America and Greenland collectively.
