So, in this article, we will be exploring the vibrant world of Konpa music and share with you our recent attendance at a workshop carried out in Texas, to which all Konpa enthusiasts are invited.

Konpa

Konpa, commonly referred to as Konpa Dirèk, is among the contemporary merengue dance music genre in Haiti. The rhythmic beats and lively tunes of Konpa have gone beyond borders, leaving an imprint on the musical scene in Dominica as well as in the French Antilles, which remains to make up their primary kind of music. The establishment dates back to 1957 when Nemours Jean-Baptiste founded Ensemble Aux Callebasses, which was later renamed and became well-known as the famous figure in Konpa scenes. The popularity of the Konpa genre was largely influenced by Jean-Baptiste, making it a musical phenomenon that would captivate not just Haiti but across the Caribbean.
