Monkeh-aka Co-co-nut - The messenger of levity
- As a baby he was traumatically torn from his mother in Costa Rica and put up for sale by the evil baby monkey traffickers. On a fateful Easter day in 2007, Jamin’s beloved sister Zanna rescued him and brought him to the refuge of ishlab. Since coming to ishlab, Coconut has blessed many a track with his strident positivity (Eeeeeee! Eeeeeee!) and brought countless smiles to ishlab faces. He knows just the right time to speak up and loves being a part of the creative process.
