Song of the Week #5

Artist: Kero Kero Bonito (remixed by WTN3)
Title: Flamingo
Genre: Cutesy Electro-pop





Don't let the Japanese name or lyrics fool you - the trio that composes Kero Kero Bonito is based right out of London, England.

I had read about Kero Kero Bonito in last month's issue of AJET Connect and had been meaning to look them up for sometime now. This past week remixes like this one by WTN3 started popping up on my YouTube feed. At first I was thinking, "Is it just me, or did these guys practically explode overnight?"

Actually...

They've been around for a while. I'm a little bit behind the recent musical curve, so to speak. Their album Intro Bonito was released on iTunes in August 2014,  but it seems like they're just starting to pick up real momentum.

When I first heard their track Flamingo, I knew right away that this is definitely one for the summer driving playlist. (Bonus? The cute lyrics and simple Japanese make this a perfect song for listening practice too!)
