[@MichaeldeMiranda]

[@Lifeofmontrose]

Please do more videos on this ! Im a player and ive been playing for years and i never seen much people leave an actual tutorial on how to play Kompa !

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you, Jashua!

You mean Haitian meringue. Music ties are closer and linked to Cubans than to those of DR. Haitains already had their own rhythms and sets mostly folk base. Even though you got some info wrong you still did great!

[@BongoCountryMan]

Thanx so much Michael. Perfect. So clear. I got in touch and requested he do it and he did. He doesn't know me but he just did it! The guy is a real lover of music & teaching. Danke - Dom in London

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You're welcome and I hope you can use the rhythm. Have fun with it!!

[@MrDoudou972]

Thank you Michael. This is one of my favorits rythm. There is many variations with the kompa rythm :-)

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

You're welcome! It is a very nice rhythm to dance to!

[@PDro11]

Very nice! Haiti has many rhythms as well that are quite similar to the rest of the Americas. Glad to see this highlighted.

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Thank you! I don't know much about Haïti, but I'm always willing to help.

que lindo es el merengue

[@rbzvncnt]

I think I'll make this samba Kompa-tibel... :) Groetjes from Berlin

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

It is always to mix it with samba. I wouldn't be surprised if they already did it in Brasil....

Haiti tambor is directly from Africa.

Greetings from the SF Bay area in California. Thanks Maestro! Very nice, smooth rhythm. Michael it's great you are well versed in many styles. Do you know much about the marimbula from Cuba? I own one but not sure how to play much with it.

[@Panadrums]

Hola Michael I have a request for you what tumbao is cachete Maldonado is playing with batacumbele In aquellos tiempos (name of the song) gracias

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

Hola Angel, I love Batacumbele. Perhaps you can send me a link, so I can see and hear what they play.

[@jeanrafael873]

Cuba influenced hatian konpa

[@santo8389]

Haiti originated cuban Tumba Franseca.

Hi Michael! I just wanna say that what you call "tresillo" are actually triplets, and what you perform in your video are not tresillos. Otherwise, excellent as always! Greetings from Venezuela.

[@elchulito52]

Hola hermano venezolano, solo quisiera precisar que aunque sea una palabra española, le llaman tresillo los haitianos a lo que toco con las palmas el amigo mickael en el video. Digamos que es el tresillo haitiano. Saludo !

[@BranMarPercussion]

When you're using classical music notation, triplets are indeed translated as "tresillo" in Spanish. But in Cuban music, the term "tresillo" is used to refer to the syncopated three note figure that Michel described in the video. Tresillo is exactly the same figure as the "three" side of the Cuban son clave. So neither you nor Michel are mistaken. This is simply one more instance when the same word can mean different things in different places and contexts.

[@karanmusic20]

Can you do Ritmo Kombina?

[@MichaeldeMiranda]

I don't know this rhythm... sorry.

[@micheljacques5868]

Great Job...Micheal...exactly...could translate this sound in Creole. Siw kon boot mewn pa touche booty.mewn...how do you count the beat values...in konpa dancing...please take m out. Konpa not kompa. Talk to you soon. Great work.
