Konpa, also spelled compas, is a popular dance music genre originating from Haiti in the 1950s, created by Nemours Jean-Baptiste. It features a steady 4/4 beat with a signature "konpa direkt" rhythm, played on instruments like the guitar, saxophone, and conga drums, often with romantic or festive lyrics. The style evolved from Haitian meringue and influences genres like zouk, as heard in works like Boulpik’s "Konpa Lakay" (2014).
