TimTim.Live Kreativt charter
Hvorfor dette projekt eksisterer, hvad Konpa betyder her, og hvordan nogen hjælper med at bære det fremad ~ familie, samarbejdspartnere, eller et fremtidigt team ! kan træffe beslutninger i den samme ånd, det startede i.
Hvorfor dette eksisterer
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.
Hvad Konpa betyder her
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.
De værdier, der ligger til grund for nyt arbejde
Rigtige historier, ikke opfundete
Hver sang, hvert land side, hver notesbog post beskriver noget, der rent faktisk skete eller er ærligt stadig i gang ! aldrig tilbagefyldt, aldrig oppustet.
Konpa arv er krediteret, ikke bare brugt
Nemours Jean-Baptiste og traditionen Konpa kommer fra få navngivet, hver gang dette projekt låner lyden og skylder det sin historie.
Hver sang er en gave, ikke et produkt pitch
Instinktet er altid "som gør dette introducere til en ny kultur eller en ny ven" før "hvordan sælger dette."
Dybde over volumen
En sang med en rigtig historie, rigtige tekster, rigtige oversættelser og en ægte landforbindelse slår ti lavvandede spor.
Hvad skal aldrig ændre sig?
- ●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.
Hvad der opfordres til at udvikle sig
- →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.
For fremtidige depoter
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?
