For the last six years, the Washington DC, Caribbean Carnival has been getting bigger and bigger. This year, the carnival reached, reportedly, over 300,000 people. Georgia avenue, the parade road, was filled with Caribbean sound , sight, and colors. You could almost smell the ocean, the mangoes, the curry chicken in the hot, humid DC air. All around, you could hear international accents; the rugged patois of Jamaica, the sweet melodic sound of Trinidadian girls, and out of the blue someone says, "kote truck Ayiesien yo?" To which someone replied, "anwo-a, yap vini."

To the onlookers, the music was different than they were used to, but the Konpas was intoxicating. Many of them picked up Haitian flags and followed the bands. Zepon, along with DJ Jean Michel, kept the konpa mache.

On the road to the Cultural Revolution of 2004, the young men and women of Haitian decent moved the capital of the United States of America to the Konpa rhythm.
