About this listen

Kompa is a popular form of jazz-based dance music that originated in Haiti during the mid-twentieth century. Kompa is derived from méringue de salon, a string-based style of Haitian dance music inspired by contra dance, a dance style from Europe. The popularity of kompa has inspired many Caribbean music forms, including the Antillean zouk and cadence-lypso, from the Dominican Republic
