Compas (Haitian Creole: Konpa) and also socially accepted by other
french speaking creole islands as “Kompa”, is a dance music and modern
méringue in Haiti. The genre was popularized following the 1955 creation
of the band Conjunto International by Nemours Jean-Baptiste. Compas is
the main music of many countries such as Dominica and the French
Antilles, etc. Whether it is called zouk where French Antilles artists
of Martinique and Guadeloupe have taken it or Compas in places where
Haitian artists have toured, this méringue style is very influential in
parts of Africa the Caribbean, Portugal, France, part of Canada, South,
and North America.
