About Konpa En Jazz

Where the soul of Haitian konpa meets the elegance and improvisation of jazz.

The Concept

Konpa En Jazz is a cultural live-music experience where the soul of Haitian konpa meets the elegance and improvisation of jazz. Founded to celebrate heritage through innovation, Konpa En Jazz bridges generations, sounds, and communities—honoring tradition while pushing creative boundaries.

Our concept brings together renowned artists and emerging voices to reinterpret konpa rhythms with jazz harmony, groove, and freedom. Each performance is intimate, refined, and vibrant—designed for listeners who appreciate live musicianship, storytelling, and atmosphere.

More than a concert series, Konpa En Jazz is a movement. We create spaces where culture is elevated, connections are formed, and music becomes a shared language. From monthly showcases to special concerts, our mission is simple: to spotlight Haitian excellence and expand its global sound—one unforgettable night at a time.

This platform is about excellence, authenticity, and legacy. Each event is curated with intention: the musicians, the atmosphere, and the audience all play a role in telling a larger story about who we are and where our culture can go. Konpa En Jazz is my contribution to preserving our heritage while boldly expanding its future.
