Piagam Kreatif TimTim.Live
Mengapa proyek ini ada, apa maksud Konpa di sini, dan bagaimana siapa pun yang membantu mewujudkannya – keluarga, kolaborator, atau tim masa depan – dapat mengambil keputusan dengan semangat yang sama seperti saat proyek ini dimulai.
Mengapa hal ini ada
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.
Yang dimaksud Konpa di sini
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.
Nilai-nilai yang memandu pekerjaan baru
Kisah nyata, bukan kisah rekaan
Setiap lagu, setiap halaman negara, setiap entri notebook menggambarkan sesuatu yang sebenarnya terjadi atau benar-benar masih berlangsung - tidak pernah backfilled, tidak pernah meningkat.
Warisan Konpa dikreditkan, bukan hanya digunakan
Nemours Jean- Baptiste dan tradisi Konpa berasal dari mendapatkan nama, setiap kali - proyek ini meminjam suara dan berutang sejarahnya.
Setiap lagu adalah hadiah, bukan promosi produk
Insting selalu "yang melakukan ini memperkenalkan budaya baru atau teman baru" sebelum "bagaimana menjual ini".
Kedalaman melebihi volume
Satu lagu dengan kisah nyata, lirik nyata, terjemahan nyata, dan koneksi negara nyata mengalahkan sepuluh trek dangkal.
Apa yang seharusnya tidak pernah berubah
- ●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.
Apa yang didorong untuk berkembang
- →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.
Untuk penjaga masa depan
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?
