Blood sisters and "baby monsters" Bebi Monsuta debut a contagious and bouncy new single, “808,” accompanied by a captivating, bold, and self-choreographed video. Feast your eyes on the official visual bolstered by a kawaii-hop beat, and gear your booties for your first (or millionth!) dance break!

“Bounce, bounce, bounce like it’s 808” they sing, and you indeed will. The "one-love, all-love" sisters teleport us to the future in this vibrant, feel-good first offering from their genre-defying debut EP project, slated for release on +1 Records/EMPIRE. 

And if you’re nearby New York, you can dance along at Elsewhere’s Zone 1 stage in Brooklyn on August 13th, as Bebi Monsuta will be supporting La Doña.

One sister, Manami, born in the Bronx, and the other, Akira, born in Manhattan, together fuse a level of energy and confidence only bred in New York City, with their Afro-American and Caribbean roots and Japanese and Portuguese-Brazilian heritage woven through the sonic spirit of the music. 

Inspired by a melange of genres, and roused from the music of Gwen Stefani, Vanity 6, Brazilian Funk, and alternative R&B, Bebi Monsuta is a force of sounds from the fringe to be reckoned with, and, in their own words, “unapologetically us.”

“808” follows Bebi Monsuta’s first song release, “Brazilian Sound," featuring ABRONCA, which earned overseas airplay on BBC's 1Xtra with Jamz Supernova and has accumulated over 200,000 streams.
