Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra has officially revived their “VS. Series,” a collaborative project that originally launched in 2022 and introduces a bold new concept: rather than simply featuring guest vocalists, it’s built on the idea of “creating music together as if in battle”—a dynamic, full-band collaboration.

The latest installment in this revitalized project sees Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra teaming up with Chevon on “Our Canon (VS. Chevon)” , a song that represents a true fusion of both bands’ identities. This unique collaboration showcases the creative synergy between the two groups, offering a fresh and compelling chapter in the evolving story of the “VS. Series.”

Chevon is a rising band who have been active since June 2021. Known for their crisp, emotionally resonant compositions and literary lyrics, Chevon has quickly cultivated a loyal following. Their sound is both thought-provoking and immersive.

“ Al inicio del nuevo milenio, Nortec Collective transformó los sonidos tradicionales del norte de México en algo nunca antes visto: una fusión entre la música regional y ritmos electrónicos que definió a toda una generación. 🇲🇽⁠
⁠
25 años después del lanzamiento de su primer proyecto como Bostich + Fussible, el dúo sigue celebrando su legado mientras suma nuevos hitos. El mes pasado, su sencillo “Tijuana Sound Machine”, parte de su álbum del mismo nombre nominado al Grammy en 2008, recibió la certificación de doble platino por AMPROFON en México.⁠
⁠
El dúo tijuanense reflexiona sobre su pionera fusión fronteriza y cómo su colectivo musical dio forma a una identidad cultural.“
