Official YouTube channel for Ijó.
Ijó represents a unique balance of youth, experience, experimentation and Caribbean vibe. A musical powerhouse, Ijó is comprised of some of the most in demand professional musicians in Trinidad and Tobago. Rodney Alexander (bass), Tamba Gwindi (percussion), Jeanine Ruiz (keyboards), Dareem Chandler (drums), Jeremy McIntosh (guitar/bass) and Jason Bishop (guitar) came together as part
of an experiment at Spielzart Studios run by Ryan Chaitram where they collaborated extemporaneously to create original compositions based on rough ideas, called ‘seeds'.
No agenda. No rehearsal. No pressure. Just musicians playing the instruments they love, unrestrained and surrounded by ‘good vibes’. Each person presented a seed as a source of inspiration for each recording session resulting in a freespirited album of different dimensions.
