Erreferentzia-puntua, ez arau-liburua
The TimTim.Live Creative Charter
Proiektu hau zergatik existitzen den, Konpa zer esan nahi duen hemen, eta norbaitek aurrera eramaten duela, familia, lankideak edo etorkizuneko talde bat.
Zergatik existitzen da hau?
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.
Konpa- k hemen esan nahi duena
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.
Gidatzen duten balioak lan berria
Benetako istorioak, asmatu gabeak
Kanta bakoitzak, herriko orri bakoitzak, koadernoko sarrera bakoitzak benetan gertatu den edo benetan ari den zerbait deskribatzen du - inoiz ez beterik, inoiz ez puztuta.
Konpa herentzia kredituan dago, ez da soilik erabili
Nemoursko jauna, Jean-Baptiste eta Konpa tradizioa, behin eta berriz deitzen diote, proiektu honek soinua hartu eta bere historia zor dio.
Kanta bakoitza opari bat da, ez produktu-pistola bat.
Sena beti da kultura berri bat edo lagun berri bat aurkezten duena "nola saltzen du honek" baino lehen.
Sakonera bolumenaren gainean
Benetako istorio bat, benetako hitzak, benetako itzulpenak, eta herrialde bateko konexio batek hamar pista balio ditu.
Zer ez litzateke inoiz aldatuko
- ●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.
Gogaikarria da eboluzioa.
- →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.
Etorkizuneko crastodoentzat
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?
