Happy Birthday Joe Damas! We celebrate you today We thank you for your many extraordinary achievements, your wisdom and making it possible for so many artist in #HMI to have an audience. God bless you and your family. Forever the one and only JOE DAMAS/JOEDAMS —————– JOE DAMAS CONNECTION SUPERBE ANIMATEUR! ICONIC RADIO and TELEVISION PERSONALITY & TALK SHOW HOST ——————— Par Joe Damas http://joedamasconnection.com/ “ Pour ceux qui ne me connaissent pas encore, mon nom est Joseph Damas Jr. (Joedams). joedamasconnection.com est un site qui a pour but de resserrer les liens d’amitié et d’échanges culturels entre nous, haitiens, nos amis d’origine afro-cubaine de l’Amérique centrale ainsi que les colonies latines des grandes villes américaines. Nous n’oublierons pas non plus les Antillais de la de la Jamaique, de la Guadeloupe et de la Martinique et tous les fanatiques de la musique créole. Nous voyagerons musicalement les rythmes de toutes ces régions : Compas, Zouk, Salsa, Boléros Reggae Meringué, etc. Sans oublier quelques notes de Chansons Francaises, Melodies instrumentales, Jazz et Classiques.

J’animerai l’emission “Joedams tempo” que vous aurez l’opportunite d’écouter du lundi au vendredi de 13:00 a 14:00 pm. “Joedams tempo” est une emission de musique #Compas qui a pour but de vous divertir sur des rythmes très diversifiés, une émission de découverte sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir des différents orchestres. Nous assurons la promotion du compas, musique riche de ses origines, qui est d’abord notre rythme national. Le compas direct crée par le génial maestro Nemours Jean-Baptiste, fait véritablement parti du patrimoine haïtien. N’oublions pas que la musique haitienne prend sa source dans le mariage de trois cultures: #Europeenne, #Africaine et #Caraïbeenne. Ce mélange d’ethnies et de civilizations a favorise la naissance d’une expression musicale tres variée. Ainsi donc, “Joedams tempo” vous permettra d’écouter aussi du #Zouk, de la #Salsa, du #Reggae, du #R&B et de la #Meringue. ~JOEDAMS

COMPAS DIRECT! NOT KOMPA OR KONPA

By Jean Jean-Pierre :

Nemours Jean-Baptiste was clear in what name (and spelling) he wanted to give to his rhythm in 1957. From 1957 to 1980, he consistently wrote COMPAS DIRECT and not Kompa or Konpa. Show respect for the man whose creation has generated $ billions of dollars to musicians and promoters and gave life to Zouk (not Zouque), Kizomba (not Quizonba) and many others. Stop desecrating his work. COMPAS DIRECT is a Trademark ™. You do not change a proper name.

Respect Nemours Jean-Baptiste.

Feel the depth of emotion in Paul Beaubrun's latest video for "PA KRIYE," featuring the soulful voice of Anie Alerte.

Compas Direct - pronounced CON'PA (Konpa)

📽 Ministre de la Culture (Haiti)

Haitian "Konpa" is properly written as "COMPAS DIRECT" and not "KOMPA." 😏

Please apologize for any confusion caused by the incorrect term and spread the word. 😄

No one would accept Soka, Salssah or Ragey, so why can't Haitians teach the world how to get it right?

Just as terms like "Soca," "Salsa," and "Reggae" are universally recognized and pronounced correctly, Haitians have the opportunity to share their cultural heritage and teach the world how to pronounce "Compas Direct" accurately. By embracing and promoting their music and culture, Haitians can play a crucial role in ensuring that their traditions are respected and understood globally.

Even if writing it properly is too difficult for you, you can at least write it in proper Haitian Kreyol.

Just imagine what it would feel like to accept a diploma or an award, only to find out that your name is spelled incorrectly on it. Then, imagine the institution dismissing it with a casual "oops, too bad, close enough!" Would that be acceptable to you? Would you still want to proudly display it despite the mistake?

No, it wouldn't be okay to accept a diploma or an award with an incorrectly spelled name. It's important to have accurate and properly spelled information on such documents. Displaying an incorrectly spelled name may not accurately represent your achievements and could lead to confusion or misunderstandings.

_________

We can compromise.

Compas Direct (Formally ) Compas, Compas love, Compas Y2K, Compas 2000, World Beat Compas, etc or

Konpa Dirèk, or Konpa when speaking Kreyòl

But let's leave "Kompa" for Kompa Magazine. Respectfully 💙❤🙏🏼

K O M P A is not my name.

Yours Truly COMPAS DIRECT, also known as Konpa Dirèk 🇭🇹 🎶.

By the way, there are many genres of Haitian Music, including Compas music. The COMPAS DIRECT of the 1950s by Nemours Jean-Baptiste does not sound the same as some of the compas throughout the decades because music evolves and changes with time.

What's your favorite era of Compas music? What's your favorite kind of Haitian Music?
