Klass A Higher Standard Of Music.  The
group 1st Klass has had a triumphant debut with their debut album, the sales of
the album are going positively against everyone's expectations: 7,000 CDs sold
after only six months (excluding individual MP3 tracks sold online through ASCAP:
cdfreedom, ultimate band list, itunes, groove mobile, groupie tunes, emusic, and
real networks)!
1st
Klass' music is a reflection of their passion for Konpa music, love for Haiti
and life. Blending an array of musical styles, 1st Klass plays a soulful branded
blend of Konpa infused with acoustic guitar, funk, and Caribbean rhythms.
"Piwo," 1st Klass' debut album, features nine new songs that are the triumphant
result of an intergalactic cross-pollination of Konpa Direk, R&B, a little bit
of Zouk, and of course, some advanced aesthetic Konpa love. From
November to May 2008 the band played at several venues throughout New York. They
also shared the stage with several Konpa's headliners at the 2007 Musique En Folie
(Haiti's biggest music showcase for young and established artists), performing
in front of 10,000 music lovers.
