Kompa (sometimes written konpa or compa) is a musical genre as well as a dance that originates from Haiti. It involves mostly medium-to-fast tempo beats with an emphasis on synthesizers. Unlike zouk, the lyrics are mostly in Haitian Creole, and it has a faster rhythm than zouk.
In North America, kompa festivals take place frequently in Montreal, New York, Miami, and Boston.
Leading kompa artists include:
- Zin
- Sweet Micky
- T-vice
- Carimi
- Djakout Mizik
