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 💙❤🙏🏼
