I was lucky enough to attend the kick off to the MADE Underground series at a private residence in Malibu last night to check out Brooklyn-based four-piece band,X Ambassadors, along with Jamie N Commons, a British folk musician who are behind the hit song “Jungle”. They, in collaboration with Budweiser and Alex Da Kid, convene an all-star symphony of diverse street sounds from these world capitals to create the ultimate “busker band” who will work with Alex Da Kid to re-record a version of “Jungle” and then perform it at the Budweiser Made in America Festival in Los Angeles on Labor Day Weekend!

“As a street musician from London, I am so excited to be a part of Budweiser’s MADE Underground,” said Jamie N Commons. “There is so much talent in the most unexpected places and through the series we will all help to shed light on some of the most genius musicians from across the globe to re-create an awesome track and deliver what promises to be an amazing performance at Budweiser Made in America Festival.”
Alex Da Kid, founder and label head of KIDinaKORNER Records where both X Ambassadors and Jamie N Commons are signed, will co-direct the series and produce and guide the busker band through the remaking of the track exclusively for MADE Underground. The hand-picked band will re-record a special version of the artists’ electrifying summer anthem entitled “Jungle”, which has already received a remix from JAY Z.
