After years of living life on the road, Jori settled down in a dusty little village in Portugal, where he built a music studio complete with a guesthouse. During the pandemic years, Jori primarily worked from here, collaborating with artists from various countries and continents. Jori’s ability to mix and mash up different musical styles and genres, both traditional and electronic, makes him a one-of-a-kind producer and artist.
In 2022, COLLIGNON dropped his solo debut, “Lagoinha”. That summer, during a tour of 20 concerts around the Netherlands, COLLIGNON evolved from a solo effort into a full-blown three-piece band.

The three musicians bring their A-game to the latest COLLIGNON recordings. The new music largely took shape on stage as the band reconnected with their audience after the sobering years of the pandemic. The result is some seriously energetic and uptempo music, with wild and exotic melodies from Yves, brilliant drumming from Gino (who’s got a unique technique, playing the congas with his left hand and drums with his right), and Jori’s signature musical landscapes created through his production and sounddesign. It’s impossible not to get swept up in the energy at a COLLIGNON concert.
