Les Cayes
TimTim.Live’s hometown on Haiti’s southern coast
Les Cayes (also called Aux Cayes) is a port city on Haiti’s southern coast and one of the country’s largest. It is the birthplace of TimTim.Live — a warm, seaside town whose Caribbean rhythm runs through the music.
History
Les Cayes grew up as a colonial-era port on Haiti’s southern coast and has long been the main gateway to the country’s south. Just offshore lies Île-à-Vache, an island tied to Caribbean history and legend.
For TimTim.Live, Les Cayes is simply home — the place where the sound and the story begin.
Music from here
Life on the southern coast moves to Konpa and twoubadou — the acoustic, storytelling side of Haitian music. This is the rhythm TimTim.Live grew up inside before carrying it to the world.
