Jonas Imbert graduated from Berklee College of Music in May 2009 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Business and Management. But it’s Jonas’s passion and talent behind the drum set that took him there and beyond. In 2002 this passion along with his much-acquired experience as a drummer in his grandfather’s church, is what led 15-year old Jonas to the stage for a sit-in alongside legendary Haitian band Djakout Mizik. This once in a lifetime opportunity gave Jonas a taste of what was to come. Soon Jonas would add to his resume the numerous sit-ins he was privileged to be a part of with big names like Carimi, Zenglen, and Zin. The first time Jonas played with Tabou Combo was in 2005 in Boston. Five years later, Jonas is a proud and active member of the band. ‘Tabou Combo is the epitome of a world-class group. I look at the audience during our shows, and no matter what country we are in I can feel their joy coming back to us on the stage, and that’s the best feeling in the world. I am privileged to be working with these great musicians.’
