Following the success of his collaborative single ‘Uma Ya Ye’ alongside Niv Ast on Sincopat just a few weeks ago, one of dance music’s most authentic voices, Laroz, marks his debut release on Connected with another stunning collaboration, this time alongside Lisbon-based producer, Bemet. Featuring the blissful vocal talents of Bassekou Kouyaté, ‘Segu Tonjon’ is primed for both the dancefloor and at-home listening spaces, reflecting three artists who are at the forefront of tribal-influenced dance music.

With a career marked by a deep understanding and exploration of diverse musical genres, Laroz has established himself as a trailblazer in the electronic music world. His music seamlessly blends contemporary tech house, deep house, and dance club music with the evocative sounds of his Mediterranean roots.

Bemet, an artist recognized on Forbes’ influential 30 Promising Youngsters of 2020 list, brings his prodigious talent and innovative spirit to this collaboration. A former precocious jazz talent and a GRAMMY nominee, Bemet graduated from Berklee College of Music and now commands a revered live show, performing at prestigious venues like Cercle Music and ADE.

The sublime ‘Segu Tonjon’ is a rich tapestry of Afro drums and melodies that transports listeners to a vibrant auditory landscape. Intricate percussive elements infuse the music with vivid colors, creating dynamic and immersive rolling grooves. Bassekou Kouyaté’s expressive vocals are a standout feature, imbuing each track with a profound sense of spirituality and depth.

Complementing these elements are the delicate melodies that weave through the soundscape, accompanied by the natural ambiance of jungle bird calls and organic hits. Together, these components blend seamlessly to produce a warming, soul-drenched sound that resonates deeply and lingers in the listener’s mind.

Laroz & Bemet’s – Segu Tonjon (ft. Bassekou Kouyaté) is out now via Connected.
