		Compas (pronounced "kompa") is Spanish for "musical measure" and "direct" refers to its two-chord structure.
		Similar to merengue in this regard, compas was originally a fusion between the vodou drum-inspired Haitian percussion and the tipico styles of the Dominican Republic that pervaded the island's dance halls.
		But it was very exciting here because D-Zine has lots of fans." Though Passion was the big fish in Montreal's relatively small Haitian community, it was difficult for it to gain exposure in the international compas scene, which also includes New York, Paris, and French-Caribbean islands like Martinique and Guadeloupe.
