IBO Combo Finds Success as Caribbean Sextet
Posted on Saturday, May 11, 2013
Caribbean Sextet (CS), once known as IBO Combo (IC), came up during the mini-jazz music scene in Haiti in the mid- to late-sixties. They experienced early success with the Haitian Diaspora in the U.S. IC, wanting to connect with their growing fan base, moved to New York to compete for their share of recognition and record sales from the Diaspora. After a few years' fruitless efforts to crack the play-list formats that catered to newer Compás groups, and disappointing sales, they returned to Haiti. Back home they pursued solo efforts, or collaborated with other musicians. But by 1997 they re-formed, calling themselves Caribbean Sextet.
