Founded in 2006, 1st Klass has emerged as one of the most promising Konpa (the most popular form of Haitian music) musicians groups that listeners will hear this year. 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.
1st Klass is composed of seven experience talented musicians, including lead singer Borno Bernad AKA POLO, and bassist Romial Joseph, who made his debut with the group, Dega.
Loberto, a former prodigy of Septentrional, which is one of Haiti's greatest Konpa band, is the band leader and keyboard. Lobertho is a very talented musician, he produces, composes, arranges, and sequences nearly all of the songs on this album. He has landed his musical talent to top Haitian artists, including Tantan Lakol ( on tour and albums), Alan Cave, Phantoms, Zenglen, among others.
Newcomer Borno Bernad A.K.A. Polo's charisma and distinctive vocal style is sure to keep konpa's audience smiling, and singing along 1st Klass infectious konpa beats.
