A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Completely Kompa: KLASS and "Fè'l Ak Tout Kè'w"
Our random tune for today is called Fè'l Ak Tout Kè'w and is performed by KLASS, a Haitian band formed in 2012 that saw sudden success after the release of their first album and was voted Haitian band of the year four years running (2013-2016). They play a genre of music called Kompa, which is a modern Haitian dance and meringue music with roots in Europe and Africa. You can find Fè'l Ak Tout Kè'w on their 2016 album of the same name.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
