International Groove Conspiracy is made up of three musicians from three different parts of the world that have combined their cultures and love for music to form a very unique band.
Founded in 2002, IGC has been regarded as one of the most successful up and coming bands in Atlanta due to their mesmerizing sound, sophisticated rhythms and rare ability to effectively blend Latin jazz with blues, funk and world music.
International Groove Conspiracy is a two-time winner the Future of Jazz Competition, a prestigious event that highlights international musical talent. In 2003, the trio was invited to play in an exclusive concert for the world-renowned Latin jazz pianist, Chucho Valdez. The summer of 2004 found the group broadening its following by playing at the Atlantis Music Conference. They played the Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In the summer of 2005 they delivered an enthusiastic performance at the Montreaux Music Festival of Atlanta.
Aside from playing all over the southeast, International Groove Conspiracy has released their first album, Beyond Horizon, featuring original compositions by José Manuel GarcÃa and an arrangement of Juan Tizol and Duke Ellington’s “Caravan.â€
