نقطة مرجعية، وليس كتاب القواعد
ميثاق TimTim.Live الإبداعي
لماذا يوجد هذا المشروع، وما يعنيه كونبا هنا، وكيف يمكن لأي شخص يساعد في المضي قدمًا به - العائلة أو المتعاونين أو فريق المستقبل - اتخاذ القرارات بنفس الروح التي بدأ بها.
لماذا هذا موجود
TimTim.Live exists to create joyful Konpa music that connects people, celebrates Haiti, and inspires curiosity about the world.
Through songs, stories, and cultural experiences, this is a living musical journey — not a finished catalog. It's meant to keep growing: new songs, new countries, new collaborators, for as long as anyone wants to carry it forward.
ماذا يعني كونبا هنا
Konpa was created in Haiti in 1955 by saxophonist Nemours Jean-Baptiste, built for one purpose: to get a room full of people dancing together, no matter what else is going on outside.
In this project, Konpa is never just a genre label. It's the Haitian half of a Haitian-American story — Caribbean roots, colored by African guitar and reggae, shaped by decades of American life. Every song should feel like that specific person telling that specific truth, not a generic "world music" pastiche.
القيم التي توجه العمل الجديد
قصص حقيقية وليست مخترعة
فكل أغنية، وكل صفحة قطرية، يصف كل دفتر ملاحظات شيئا حدث فعلا أو لا يزال في طور التنفيذ - لم يتراجع أبدا، ولم يتضخم أبدا.
يُنسب الفضل إلى تراث كونبا، وليس استخدامه فقط
ويأتي النيمور جان - بابتيست والتقاليد ZZTIMTIMPROTECTED5Z، كل مرة - وهذا المشروع يقترض الصوت ويدين له بتاريخه. — Konpa
كل أغنية هي هدية وليست عرضًا للمنتج
الغريزة هي دائماً "من يفعل هذا يقدم لثقافة جديدة أو لصديق جديد" قبل "كيف يبيع هذا"
العمق على الحجم
أغنية واحدة مع قصة حقيقية، كلمات حقيقية، ترجمات حقيقية، وصلة ريفية حقيقية تضرب عشرة مسارات ضحلة.
ما لا ينبغي أن يتغير أبدا
- ●The Haitian-American identity at the center of it — this is not a generic "world music" brand and never should become one.
- ●Crediting Konpa's real origin (Nemours Jean-Baptiste, 1955 Haiti) whenever the genre is explained.
- ●Honesty in every number shown publicly — no inflated counts, no fabricated milestones, no backfilled history.
- ●Every song and country page staying free to experience — the music is a gift, not a paywall.
ما يشجع على التطور
- †’New genres and collaborators, as long as the Haitian-American throughline stays legible.
- †’New languages, translations, and countries — the catalog is built to grow this way from day one.
- †’New formats: video, live performance, education, community covers — anything that makes a song a living experience rather than a static track.
- †’The tools and platforms this runs on. The values above matter far more than any particular tech stack.
لأوصياء المستقبل
If you're reading this because you've inherited this project, or you're helping carry it forward: you don't need to guess what would have been wanted. Use this page.
When a decision doesn't have an obvious answer, ask which choice serves the person listening to a song for the first time — not which choice is easiest to build or most impressive to announce.
When in doubt about whether something belongs, the test is simple: does it help someone discover, perform, or share the Konpa story — or does it just add noise around it?
