WELL I THINK IT'S MORE OUR FAULT, SIMPLY BECAUSE WE DON'T SUPPORT ENOUGH, SUPPORT IS EVERYTHING IN ANY MUSIC INDUSTRY KUZ IT WOULD BRING MORE ENCOURAGEMENT TO OUR PRODUCERS AND BANDS.

WE THE FANS ALWAYS WANT GREATNESS FROM OUR BANDS BUT WHEN THEY GIVE IT TO US THEY CAN'T EVEN SALE ATLEAST 50,000 COPIES WHICH BRINGS DISCOURAGEMENT SOMETIMES, EVEN THEY PUT OUT A GREAT ALBUM OR NOT THEY STILL CAN'T SALE THE AMOUNT OF COPIES THEY SHOULD WHY SHOULD THEY KEEP WORKING HARD FOR US WHEN THEIR HARD WORK CAN'T PAY OFF.

SECOND OF ALL: TROP BAND NOW DAYS AP KOPYE SOU LOT WE HEAR THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER, WE CAN BARELY IDENTIFY BANDS, THIS IS WHERE THE RESPECT GOES TO ZENGLEN, NU LOOK, T-VICE, CARIMI, DJAKOUT, KREYOL LA... THESE ARE THE BANDS THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT HAVE THEIR FULL IDENTITY, IT'S GONNA BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THIS INDUSTRY IT CONTINUES LIKE THIS...THAT'S HOW I FEEL, AGAIN "THAT'S HOW I FEEL"

The fans are a minor part in what s hurting COMPA. There are a multitude or reasons wqhy compas is hurting. I ll give some now and come back with others later. Some bands take 3 years to produce an albumwhich sometimes comes out with not hits that can justify such a long wait . Those bands play the same songs in parties for thre years. Some albums have more " shout outs than lyrics" . Singers just call out names left and right which damages the song flow. A lot of times musiccs from a new album are remixed arrangements of previous ones. Some bands are poorly managed and personal problems are constantly aired out on the net causing insdtability that s needed for a band 's growth. Musicians leave bands many times for issues that could have been solved with good managerial skills. some bands have new faces pretty much 3 times a year. The GIGGER virus needs to be medicated. Some people are in bands not because they are musicians or intrumentists but because they are lady magnets , they look a certain way and not necessarily good at playing any instrument. every time a group is disbanded and becomes two new bands they are basically copycats or play the same styles with minor changes musically. Some band leaders have no respect for the fans or contracts and they show up late to play or not ready. The SPERSTARMANIA is another virus for COMPA. avan ti krik ti krak intel penser li se superstar li guin swag pase intel. I'll be back with more.

mwen panse trop djaz ap kopye lot ..... si youn fe yon bagay ki mache lot la se al esye utilize menm formul la ..... mwen panse anpil djaz manke inspirasyon pou vini avek yon bagay ki nouvo...majorite nan yo pa panse pou kompa vreman yo jus panse pou poch yo .. menm si ou we yap rele kompa direct devan se BS ... trop hyprokrisite youn pa ta renmen we yon lot avanse paske yo panse pou poch yo selman ...epi gen trop neg sot ki gen foli promote yo hire yon djaz yo pa menm fe bon promosyon pou li... epi tande djaz paka mennen moun...san neg yo pa konnen se promotion ki pi enpotan ...one the most important the HMI needs some big buzz ... some musical challenge ...some showdown...more big shows ..somethings exciting ..

@Straitshooter
ou choute straight vre wi..i agree with everything you 've said.

Man... it's the freaking Promoters that are looking for a big pay day k'ap kraze indistri an...

Back in the days we used to have People with real money investing in konpa, we used to have high ranking government officials paying attention to konpa..
jodi a, se yon neg k'ap "bag groceries" nan walmart ki bezwen millionaire demen k'ap rele tet li pwomoter.. se vreu...

epi tou fanatik yo koupab anpil.. si fanatik yo pat koupab, gen yon seri de djaz ki pa ta dwe pase inapesi nan decennie ki sot ekoule an la... fanatik yo fwenk vin enervant... nowadays, yo pa sipote djaz anko.. se yon patner, yon zanmi ke yo t'al nan bal epi yo fe kek grenn foto ave'l.. epi sa'w tande an... yo tounen polis sou internet... kounye an neg supporter djaz a partir de qui kout lanmen li resevwa nan yon bal...

twazyemman.. menm konpa band yo guilty tou... kounye an twop enfomasyon ap leak nan la ri an.. Djaz yo fe meeting nan yon ti kwen kote peson pa dwe konnen.. yon fason kelkonk.. nouvel la pral tonbe nan bouch media an direkteman.. chak neg ou byen chak manb medya an gen yon ti insider nan yon djaz.. (yon ti jouda).. epi pa gen solidarite nan djaz yo anko.. it used to be "one for all, all for one", ces jours ci se "me, myself and I"..

Media osi koumanse monopolize bagay yo... neg yo lage nenpot news deyo.. yon bagay gen dwa pa menm verite menm.. depi yo tande, y'ap lage san verifye.. now it's up to the artist/band in question to come and defend himself... sa vin fe anpil nan nou derespekte atis yo pafwa san preuve...

nou tout guilty... industri an tounen yon trafik.. sa k'ap cheche fe yon quick buck pou li ka "quit" the 9-5 at walmart.. ak yon fanatik ki panse'l superstar paske li fe foto ak yon artist...

nou pa respekte reg jwet la...

Kompa is hurting Kompa.

Musicians...bands....



Le jour que yo organize tet yo, mete tet yo ansanm pou fome yon industrie ke moun respekte....ki gen yon standard....marche a suivre....yon industrie ki gen fos kote sou l'education.

I said fos kote...paske li pa forcement vrai pou tout moun nan industrie an induque....men li obligatoire pou industrie an eduque......

fok gen yon para pluie under which tout moun tonbe.......pou tout atis, dajz, promote respecte reg yo....



How do we get there?

Yon priz de conscience.....

Konnen problem nan.
Dako ke se yon problem li ye.
Dako rezoud li ansanm.....

Epi devoue tet nou pou nou rezoud li.

We have too many band reps in each and every city who monopolize the bands' rights to play in that city and those reps also call themselves PROMOTERS . bands only allow themselves to be dealt with through those reps who only work in the interest of their small pockets not really COMPA. guin ampil moun serieux ki ta rinmmin book yon jazz nan yon city for one occasion but ki pa vle deal ak vagabond rep sa yo epi yo bayyy jazz yo vag. moun sa yo te ka expose jazz sa yo nan lot communaute ki pa minm Haitien kote COMPA te ka valer terrain. The every week end bal scenario in clubs or venues sometimes not bigger than an average living room hurts compa and make it boring. Anybody with money should be able to contact a band and book a night , sign a contract and maybe present something new to the public. MUSICIEN DWE KOMPORTE YO TANKOU YON SERL KORD FANMi VRE pou yo suspann mete biznis fre musicien parey yo ak band mate yo deyor. When your bandmate steals another bandmate blackberry or IPHONe, deal with the issue internally and help the brother.

WHEN WE STOP BOOT LEGGING EVERYTHING THEY PUT OUT AND START SUPPORTING THE WAY THEY DO IT IN THE AMERICAN INDUSTRY, THAT'S WHEN WE REALLY SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BANDS, KUZ IF THEY WERE MAKING MILLIONS WE WOULD REALLY HAVE A REASON TO COMPLAIN, UNTIL THEN IT'S OUR FAULT.

OUT OF ALL THE INDUSTRIES THE HMI FANS ARE THE WORST SUPORTERS AT THE SAME TIME THE DEMAND MORE THAN ANY ONE ELSE...UNTIL WE SUPPORT LIKE WE SHOULD IT'S GONNA GET WORST IN THE HMI...
THAT'S HOW I FEEL.......

When the product is good and respect is given to the fans the bands will be fine. If you look around the couple of bands who are doing ok right now are the ones who either are well managed or respect the fans to some extents and are drama free. If they were the only bands around now in the HMI they would make way more money and COMPA would be further than it is. Bands yo hurt tete yo and COMPA way before the fans hurt them.
