How well do you know your kompa music?

I am only 27, I have been In the US since I was 14. I love Kompa Music, Nouvelle Generation, Ragga, But there are songs I used to hear growing up that just disapeared.

if you listen to American radio, they always play old school music.

is there an archive or art museum that keep track of all the haitian music?

it is an art form and should be regarded as such and preserved.

what is your take on this?
