Like Black Parents, Haitian music has drawn a wide range of influences from the people of many cultures who have settled in this Caribbean island of Hispaniola. "Kompa" or "Konpa" is one unique form of Haitian music, a complex one that fuses African rhythms and European ballroom dance--with consistent, pulsing drum beat that makes dancing easier."Kompa" was there in the Haitian music since its emergence but developed into a modern pop style by Nemours Jean-Baptiste in 1955.
