„Творческа харта“ TimTim.Live
Защо този проект съществува, какво означава Конпа тук и как всеки, който помага да го пренесе напред – семейство, сътрудници или бъдещ екип, може да взема решения в същия дух, в който е започнал.
Защо това съществува?
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.
Какво означава Конпа тук?
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.
Ценностите, които ръководят новата работа
Истински истории, а не измислени.
Всяка песен, всяка страница в страната, всеки запис в тетрадката описва нещо, което всъщност се е случило или е в процес на искреност — никога не се е връщало изпълнено, никога не се надувало.
Наследството на Конпа се кредитира, а не просто се използва
Немур Жан-Батист и традицията Конпа идват от името, всеки път — този проект заема звука и му дължи историята си.
Всяка песен е подарък, а не продукт.
Инстинктът винаги е "кой прави това, представя нова култура или нов приятел" преди "как това се продава".
Дълбочина над обема
Една песен с истинска история, истински текстове, истински преводи, и истинска връзка страна бие десет плитки песни.
Какво никога не трябва да се променя
- ●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.
Това, което се насърчава да се развива
- →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.
За бъдещи попечители
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?
