Déi TimTim.Live Kreativ Charta
Wierklechkeet vum Projekt, wat Konpa hei heescht, a wéi jiddereen et eriwwermaache kann — Famill, Mitarbeiter oder nächstes Team — Decisiounen am selwechten Geist entspriechen.
Warum et gëtt et schonn?
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.
Wat Konpa heescht
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.
D' Werter, déi nei Aarbechtsplaz opruffen
Echt Geschichten, net erfannten eenten
All Titel, all Landssäiten, all Notizeg Entréen beschreiwen et ass eppes domaddert oder am meeschten sin - ni ëmmer ofgegrënnt, nämlech geschwënnt.
Konpa- Erweetung ass kreditéiert, net einfach benotzt
Nemours Jean- Baptiste an d'Traktioun Konpa këss vun Kommamt un kësse all Kéiers - e Projekt leigt d'Eloun op a verzielt Äre Geschicht.
All Titel ass eng Gawe, kee Produktoptéit
Den Instinkt ass ëmmer "wiech dat hei heescht eng nei Kultur oder ee neie Frënn informéiert" ëier "how verzielt dat."
Déift iwwer volume
Ee Titel mat enger realer Geschicht, wierkleche Iwwersetzungen, a wierkleche Country-Verbindung schéet 10 gréißen Titel.
Wat sollt ni ëmmer verännern
- ●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.
Wat ass ermutéiert dass d'Evolutioun get weiderentweckelt
- →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?
