Indio Saravanja’s self-titled debut album is the real deal. Troubador Texas meets the Lower East Side, via endless miles of snow-covered Canadian highway. Indio’s songs are poetry first – timeless, honest stories that speak to everyone. Indio Saravanja is a prolific singer-songwriter and impressive multi-instrumentalist.
Though his music has deep roots, for years now Indio’s life has been all about the freedom of the road. Born in Argentina and raised in the quiet cold of the Canadian north, by the age of 15 he was playing in Montreal subways for change. A stint in Spain was followed by a move to New York at the age of 19, where friend and mentor Jeff Buckley got Indio his first real sit-down gig.
After almost a decade on the road, Indio returned home. In the Northwest Territories he found the peace to reflect and to write, and he sharpened his skills in run-down bars, often playing six nights a week. “I spent 15 years making a living playing other people’s tunes" he says. “That’s why it feels so great to finally share my own words and music.”
Indio is currently based in and around BC’s Gulf Islands, but he continues to travel the world. His only destination is wherever the songs lead him.
Since his first official release in October 2005, Indio has been featured and spotlighted on many CBC radio shows including The Vinyl Cafe, Canada Now (which has aired full live concerts of his work nationally), Global Village (live concert), North By Northwest, Definitely Not The Opera and others including Sounds Like Canada where he enjoyed a half hour interview with Shelagh Rogers. He was also nominated Best New Discovery by Canada's leading Folk and Roots magazine 'Penguin Eggs' and his music has been on steady rotation across the country and abroad on leading folk and college stations as well as sattelite radio.
He has performed approximately 200 concerts since that release including a number of established folk festivals, the largest and most prestigious being the Winnipeg Folk Festival where he was invited to perform on the mainstage in the summer of 2007. He has been on the front page of many Canadian newspapers such as the Toronto Star and his work has been reviewed and praised by Canada's leading music and art critics nationally.
"He is a poet of the finest water, a keen observer with finely attuned literary sensibilities and a thinker of considerable substance..... Saravanja is clearly connected to the larger contemporary global zeitgeist. Big things are coming his way." -- Greg Quill, Toronto Star.
