Compas

Compas is a type of Haitian music that has been around since the 1950s. It is a fusion of several genres, including African rhythms, Haitian folk music, jazz, and Latin music. The style is characterized by a steady, two-beat rhythm, with the first beat being slightly accented. This rhythm is usually accompanied by horns, saxophones, electric guitars, bass, and drums.

Compas has become popular in the Caribbean and Latin America, and is especially popular in Haiti. It has become a symbol of Haitian identity and culture, and is often heard at parties, in nightclubs, and at festivals. It has also been used in film scores and television commercials, and has been covered by artists from all over the world.
