Music that is not only wonderful to listen to but also a joy to watch. Cocobolo writes all their music with a visual concept as the starting point.

COLLIGNON is his new solo project, which quickly evolved into a full-fledged band with Gino Bombrini (known from Komodo) on drums and percussion and Yves Lennertz (known from YĪN YĪN) on guitar. The result? Energetic, uptempo music. A perfect blend of Yves’ wild, exotic melodies and Jori's signature soundscapes. COLLIGNON has already released several singles and will release "Bicicelta" in October. This is their first studio album and it takes you on a musical road trip. And they will be making a stop at Kaleidoscope!
