About Cadence rampa

Cadence rampa (Haitian Creole: kadans ranpa, [kadãs ɣãpa]), or simply kadans, is a dance music and modern méringue popularized in the Caribbean by the virtuoso Haitian sax player Webert Sicot in the early 1960s. Cadence rampa was one of the sources of cadence-lypso.

Cadence and compas are two names for the same Haitian modern méringue.
