Summary:  We prove a K{\"u}nneth formula computing the Connes--Shlyakh\-tenko L2-Betti numbers of the algebraic tensor product of two tracial -alge\-bras in terms of the L2-Betti numbers of the two original algebras. As an application, we construct examples of compact quantum groups with a non-vanishing first L2-Betti number.
