Album Description

Greetings! I'm excited to present to you the latest EP by the remarkable acid jazz band, B-Konexion. This EP, titled "United Beats," is a fusion of cultures and talents that promises to captivate your senses and take you on a musical journey like no other. In 2017, during a jazz festival in Phnom Penh, Stéphane Mercier had a wonderful encounter with the producers of KlapYaHandz while performing with the Christian Brenner Quintet. This chance meeting led to a special live event, where Stéphane witnessed the vibrant energy and cultural revival emerging from a new generation of Cambodian youth. Their immense talent left a lasting impression on him. Fast forward a few years, and Stéphane once again crossed paths with KlapYaHandz, this time in Paris, where he introduced the label to the European audience with a special event. B-Konexion, known for their ability to blend cultures and musical influences, found it lucky when KlapYaHandz approached them for a collaboration. "United Beats" is the result of this extraordinary collaboration. Bringing together artists like Napoleon Da Legend and Nejma Nefertiti from Brooklyn with Izame Siva from London with Nigerian roots and Jamaican influences (New Exotic) and Vin Vitou famous rapper Cambodia (Old Pots) , this EP is a testament to the fusion of ingenuity and freshness. It marries the grounded grooves of B-Konexion with the diverse influences of these talented artists. Prepare to be enchanted by the seamless blend of musical cultures and the infectious beats that "United Beats" has to offer. This EP is a celebration of music's power to connect people from all corners of the world and create something truly extraordinary.
