they are so close jamaica and haiti physically.i would have thought some reggae influence/respect would have spilled over.
no google itself doesnt lie han ,its just a computer search engine based on numbers.

Haiti has produced some very interesting music in the 70's. It has the same qualities as reggae, but it's a completely different rhythm. They call it "Compas". It's more a mix betwee funk, african soukous and latin.
The best records I know:
- Tabou Combo "Respect"
- Tabou Combo New York City
- Tabou Combo "A la Cannes a Sucre"
- Many records of Le Shleu Shleu
- Les Gypsies de Petion Ville (album with no name)
