History
The United States is a nation of immigrants, and its music proves it — jazz, blues, gospel, rock, hip-hop, and R&B were all born from cultures meeting and mixing on American soil.
It's the country where TimTim.Live's Haitian roots met a wider world, and where the “Konpa to the World” idea took shape.
