What is Konpa?
Konpa is, after salsa and reggae, the musical style that connects the Caribbean. Konpa is a genre with deep roots in Haiti and, over the years, it has spread to other islands in the Caribbean, to Africa and then to other countries.
With influences and affinities with styles such as merengue and zouk, Konpa is more than just music; it is a cultural bridge that brings people together on the dance floor and beyond.
Konpa has a distinctive and irresistible groove. The warm, rhythmic basslines, the melodic guitars and the danceable flow make it a genre that continues to grow in popularity.
This music gets both young and old moving, sitting still is almost impossible!
