The original name was Kompa Direk (Direct); also spelled as Compa, it means beat in Spanish, which made the name stand for “Direct Beat”. The beat and gaining rhythm is something you need when dancing to Kompa music, much of the dancing comes from the hips and feeling the musical sound on the inside.
