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 !.
