‌In a manifesto of “We don’t know world music. It’s just music.”, IJM as a band consists of West African percussion, sitar(Indian string), flute, Brazilian woodwind, base in a style of African blues and a Korean string called Haegeum.

 This mysterious(marvellous) combination of instruments bears each country’s soul. Every single one distinguishes itself by the indigenous playing skills and unique sounds, however, the polyphony they make together does not only stay as a simple integration but it recreates a new world.

 The new world stands definitely outside of traditional, jazz or experimental music. Therefore we are only able to say that it’s just music since our music is too multicolour to be tied up in the single category of ‘World music’.

1st Album _ KALI DANCE
Track
1.Ceremony
An invitation to new recognitive world through a mysterious melody recalls a sacred ritual and a weighty drum beat pounds the heart.

2.Kirwani
A folk song into which the most ordinary figure among the various in life dissolves.

3.Bani
Multiple aspects of love, people, moment and everything. From placid longing to zenith towards joy and delight.

4.Flowing away again
The present moment will pass away in the end even during at this very time of being lived and experienced. Life may mean the moments vanish as soon as we get used to them.

5.Kali Dance
The death that is dark and frustrating but ravishing at the same time. The ruthless dance of goddess ‘Kali’ who charges the death.

6.African Circus
Is Circus originated from splendour greeted by applause, or is it a gathering of the objectified of bizarreness and discomfort? Where comes from icky feeling when the show is over?

7.Dreaming
What if it is all in dream that we have met and the time we have spent together laughing, crying and playing. The Butterfly dream.
