Eit tilvísingarpunkt, ikki ein regelbók
TimTim.Live kreativa stadgan
Hvussu verkætlan finnst, hvør Konpa merkir hér, og ið sá sem einangleiðis til at halda tað fram — familj, samloborarar, eða eitt framhaldslið, kann taka ákvarðanir í samsinu anda og byrjuni í.
Hvussu hetta finnst
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.
Hvussu Konpa merkir hér
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.
Gildirnar sem leiða nýggj verk
Real sögur, ikki uppfunnin dem
Séry lag, hvussu landsíða, hvørjar nýggju færslu renda upp iets at hava gerst, eða er alvoru vinstra - aldri afturfylld, aldri uppblåst.
Konpa arv er kreditað, ikki einki brúkt
Nemours Jean-Baptiste og edlinían Konpa kemur úr gotum, hvørtíð - hesa verkætlan skuldar ljóðið og skuldar tað sögu.
Hve lag er ein gjöf, ikki eitt verkætl
Instinktin er altíð "hvør gerst hettar løð inn við ein nyar kultur eða ein nýr vin" fyrir "hvussu gerir hettar sel."
Djarffløgu støddini
Ein songur við eina raunverulega söng, reala teksti, real týðingar, og eitt reellt land sambinding slår saman tína grunna spor.
Hvussu skal ikki endrast
- ●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.
Hvussu verður stuðlað at þróa
- →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.

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?
