Usa ka reperensiyang punto, dili usa ka libro sa lagda
Ang TimTim.Live nga Karta sa Paglalang
Kon nganong naglungtad kining proyektoha, kon unsay kahulogan ni Konpa dinhi, ug kon sa unsang paagi si bisan kinsa nga motabang niini magpadayon sa pag - abante sa pamilyang Lonvide, sa mga katabang, o sa umaabot nga tem nga LUT, makahimo ug mga desisyon sa samang espiritu nga gisugdan niini.
Kon nganong naglungtad kini
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.
Kon unsay kahulogan dinhi ni Konpa
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.
Ang mga prinsipyo nga mogiya sa bag - ong buluhaton
Tinuod nga mga estorya, dili inimbento
Ang matag awit, matag panid sa nasod, matag talaan sa notbok nagbatbat sa usa ka butang nga aktuwal nga nahitabo o matinud - anong nagpadayon gihapon sa pag - uswag nga NonOSTI, nga wala gayod mapatas - i.
Ang panulondong Konpa giila, dili kay gigamit lamang
Ang mga Nemours Jean-Baptiste ug ang tradisyong Konpa gikuha gikan sa gingalan, matag panahong manghulam ug tingog kining proyektoha ug nakautang niini sa kasaysayan niini.
Ang matag awit maoy gasa, dili produktong bulitik
Ang kinaiyahan kanunay nga "maghimo niini ngadto sa bag - ong kultura o bag - ong higala" sa dili pa kini ibaligya.
Deepth ibabaw sa volume
Ang usa ka awit nga dunay tinuod nga sugilanon, tinuod nga mga liriko, tinuod nga hubad, ug usa ka tinuod nga koneksiyon sa nasod nagbunal sa napulo ka mabawng mga agianan.
Unsay dili gayod mausab
- ●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.
Unsay gidasig nga motungha pinaagig ebolusyon
- →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.
Alang sa umaabot nga mga tigbantay
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?
