Nuits d’Afrique | Baz Konpa Honors konpa

Interview by Keithy Antoine
Genres and styles : Caribbean / konpa

Additional Information

This year, the Festival international Nuits d’Afrique has put Haitian music in the spotlight with several groups from the Pearl of the Antilles. Among them is Baz Konpa, whose line-up features just 4 members, but there are many more than that. Indeed, on July 19, at 10 p.m., there will be a dozen of them on stage, including dancers and other musicians, and together they intend to set the Scène TD on fire. Keithy Antoine, a fan of this style of music, spoke to Paul Elie, one of the band’s key members, and concocted this interview for PAN M 360.
