The upcoming 123 Andrés‘ album, “Hola Amigos,” has generated its second pre-release video for the song, “Beach.” An enhanced lyric video, the song features performers Jazzy Ash and Aaron Nigel Smith (who has his own new album coming later this month).

Similar to the Okee Dokee Brothers, Buds Jonny Jonah and Matty Shapiro tout a friendship that dates back to practically infancy (six years of age).

The BeatBuds merged their talents in 2012 to create children’s music and lay claim to more than 6,000 performances. They happily promote their connect to Scooter Braun (don’t mention that name to Taylor Swift), who is helping to plot their ascension into the first tier of children’s musicians. A Nickelodeon animated preschool series is in the works, with a post-pandemic 2021 debut pencilled in.
The BeatBuds conducted a series of livestreaming concerts that ended in June. Here’s “Sunday Funday,” a 45-minute performance:
