KOMPA DRILL

KOMPA DRILL often mistakenly referenced as CREOLE-Trap, is a combination of Haitian Kompa, and Sample Drill music.

Characteristic features of KOMPA DRILL production include rap-talk-singing, Flow, “kata” (rim shot) (tresillo, live drums, (typically 80 to 120 beats per minute, or BPM), catchy short riff, Autotune, loops, 808 glides, ear-catching and singable melodies with manipulated Background vocal.

KOMPA DRILL uses replayed samples of older Kompa tracks by composing derivative version of the sample played live by an actual studio or session musician, thus giving it a nostalgic yet modern twist.

Key stylistic elements:

Call and Response, Chant-Rap, Vocalese, Ostinatos and rapped lyrics originated from the real-life experiences (often rap-sing in Haitian French-Creole, Crenglish, and CreoSpañol, FranSpañol which usually feature a guest artist or who 'd contribute a guest verse.

Other elements include a 12 bar bridge section played with a 5/4 timing over Rasin Mizik, (Haitian roots music with more pop-based melodies).

The lyrical content of Kompa drill music tends to be bawdy, cryptic, gritty pithy, provocative and full of voye pwen,” or “sending a point.”

A notable label of this kind of Kompa Drill Music is Negre Marron Records, an Int-y Independent internet record label which was founded in New York City ) 2018) by Rene Guemps.

I wonder if KOMPA DRILL producers will go after sample clearance from the right holders for all the Kompa instrumentals and vocal samples that they interpolate on their tracks Ante or post-Factum?

Euro-Kompa

Euro-Kompa, a portmanteau of "European and Kompa"), It's often referred to as "White Kompa" a term used to describe Haitian Kompa music sung by artist or singers of European descent.

Euro-Kompa usually Features a lead vocalist and 2-3 backing Vocalists and sometime a guest vocalist usually a Euro-Rap-Singer who 'd contribute a guest verse during a bridge resulting in song lengths ranging from 3-4 minutes depending on the tempo.

Electromechanically produced by live traditional Kompa jam-session musicians which are also often mistakenly referred to as “GIGGERS”by other “KNOW-IT-ALL” in the Haitian Music Industry.

Identifying factors include generally short to medium-length songs written in a variants format which emphasize the song's melody and harmonies.

Unlike Haitian Kompa Direct which is very lyric-oriented-the lyrics in Euro-Kompa songs don’t usually have any deep meaning- often the lyrics are frivolous.

Euro-Kompa generally dance to a mid-tempo 90-115 BPM (beats per minute) with a 1-2 -1-2 Beat and with an arrangements of a 4/4 or four-on-the-floor time Signature which always encourages dancing due to it’s use of dance-oriented rhythms.

The origins of the genre and term was pioneered by Negre Marron Records' CEO and label Director Rene Guemps.

FYI: This is the first time in the history of the Haitian Music Industry (HMI) that a record label will be selling the beauty of an international artist from another race as a concept in a market that's not his or hers.

WOW! I wonder if Euro-Kompa will be a new category in the Eurovision Song Contest next year?
