Hevitra iray, fa tsy boky momba ny fitsipika
Ny Sata TimTim.Live Creative Commons
Nahoana no misy ity tetikasa ity, inona no dikan'ny Konpa eto, ary ahoana no ahafahan'ny tsirairay manampy amin'ny fitantanana izany ho an'ny fianakaviana, mpiara-miasa, na ekipa vaovao mandray fanapahan-kevitra mitovy amin'ny nanombohany.
Nahoana no misy izany?
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.
Ny dikan'ny Konpa eto
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.
Ny sanda mitarika asa vaovao
Tantara tena izy, fa tsy noforonina
Isaky ny hira, isaky ny pejy ao amin'ny firenena tsirairay, dia manoritsoritra zavatra iray izay nitranga marina na mbola tsy feno mihitsy hatramin'izao ny lahatsoratra tsirairay ao amin'ilay solosaina, ary tsy miverin-dàlana mihitsy.
Ny lova Konpa dia heverina fa tsy ampiasaina fotsiny
Avy amin'ny anarana ny Nemors Jean-Baptiste sy ny fomban-drazana Konpa, isaky ny maka ny feo sy manome azy ny tantarany ity tetikasa ity.
Fanomezana avokoa ny hira rehetra fa tsy fanomezana
"Iza foana no manao izany amin'ny kolontsaina vaovao na namana vaovao" alohan'ny "fomba fivarotana izany."
Fetra ambonin'ny kapila
Misy hira iray misy tantara tena izy, tononkira tena izy, fandikan-teny tena izy, ary firenena iray tena izy dia mahatratra dingana folo amin'izany.
Inona no tsy tokony hiova mihitsy?
- ●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.
Inona no ampirisihina hivelatra indray?
- →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.
Ho an'ireo tsy mahay mankasitraka amin'ny hoavy
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?
