The Duvalier government has destroyed any hope for compas musicians to become a millionaire musician under the copyright law and went on to wonder how compas musicians expected to make it playing compas music without the Haitian government financial support.

So it was not a coincidence that compas music was commonly linked to Haitian musical nationalism during the Duvalier government till today. Compas musicians became significant haitian nationalists but they never asked their Haitian legislators to create Haitian copyright laws that could have protected their arts and secured their financial future.What does it say about compas musicians?

  • Kompas is a great music genre. It will not die, due to it's beauty.

    By the way I'm looking for music by an artist (Nemu Ja Batiste) I may be spelling the name wrong.
