In 1994, the guitarist Eugene Montenero launched bconnected with electro sounds, in a subtle blend of energy and expression.

15 years later, the group has come to full maturity. An analysis is revealing: 7 records, tours in Asia (China, Thailand, South Korea) in 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, concerts in various areas of the world, Lausanne to Shanghai; prestigious festivals such as Montreux Jazz Festival, Tabarka Jazz Festival, Willisau Jazz Festival, Dimajazz of Constantine, Shanghai Jazz Week Festival 07, 10th Bangkok Dance & Music Festival 2008.

With energy and talent, the group transforms simple concerts into outstanding experiences buzzing with the vibrancy of unforgettable musical expression. bconnected now working on the new album face to a brand new artistic direction into world music. The greatest erhu player and chinese artist Wang Xiaojing (Andréas Vollenweider) will appear as a special guest.
