  Kompa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kompa (sometimes written Compas Direct, konpa direk, konpa or compa) is a musical genre as well as a dance that originates from Haïti.
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.

 Caribseek Kaleidoscope | Kompa Nanzi and Brer Rabbit - Two Tricksters and Their Fates by Gary C. Fouse
The central character, depending on the part of Africa involved, was a spider, rabbit or tortoise, a small, weak animal that used its cunning to escape dangerous situations (generally of its own making due to its devious nature) at the hands of larger, stronger adversaries, such as a tiger, fox or bear.
In the southern United States, the trickster variant that resulted from slavery was Brer Rabbit, a character that was not only a figure of fl slave folklore, but one that found its way into the folklore of the nation as a whole- at least until the 1960s.
If Kompa Nanzi should, in fact, fade into oblivion over time, it appears that it will be due to a lack of interest on the part of succeeding generations of Antillean youth who have found other interests.
