Kompa

An easy way to explain kompa is that it is the Haitian version or r&b. A beat with piano, drums, guitar, and sometimes with saxophones or trumpets. Some say that dancing to kompa is like having sex on the dance floor because when dancing to kompa, your abdominal area is mostly used like grinding or just moving side to side on/with your partner.

Kompa is the best Haitian music because the beat is so smoothing !.

White Kompa 

The term White Kompa is used to describe Haitian Kompa music sung by non-Haitian or French-Caribbean singers or artists.

Characterized by and performed on typical musical instruments which are played only by Kompa musicians of Haitian origin.

Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a variants.format

The recorded songs are often between three and five minutes in length.

Unlike Kompa Diect which which is very lyric-oriented-The lyrics in White Kompa songs don’t usually have any deep meaning,often the lyrics are frivolous and encourage dancing dancing due to it use of dance-oriented rhythms which generally dance to a mid-tempo with a 1-2 beat.

The origins of the genre and term was pioneered by Negre Marron Records' CEO and label Director René Guemps who always thought - if language was the barrier that stop Haitian Artist from crossing over or become mainstream to other mwrket - why not bring artist of non-Haitian Origin and have them crossover to Kompa music.

FYI: This is the first time in the history of the Haitian Music Industry (HMI) that a record label will be selling the beauty of an international artist from another race as a concept in a market that's not his or hers.

Myrtha was the one who suggested that we call the sub genre WHITE KOMPA instead of KomPOP, because most of the artists who sing that style of music are either from the United States, Canada or Europe
