BIOGRAPHY

Kreyol La est une formation musicale haitienne, jouant exclusivement du Compas, le rythme haitien le plus populaire, dans toutes ses variantes et toutes ses couleurs.
Créée en 2005, á Pétion-Ville, Kreyol La est le fruit de certains membres issus du groupe Konpa Kreyol. Au début des années 2000, Konpa Kreyol était considéré, á raison, comme le porte-parole par excellence de la jeunesse haitienne, ce qui lui a valu le pseudo "Jazz La jenès la". Dans un ton original, alliant rigueur et humour, et utilisant la cadence tantôt douce tantôt " up tempo " comme courroie de transmission, Konpa Kreyol savait relater les problèmes des jeunes et de la société, en générale, avec art et méthode.
