Rolando Matias & Intrin-x-ico
A blend of raw afro-Caribbean rhythms with the settle and delicate melodies of the jazz vocabulary. The group is very malleable to different styles and music variations within the genre-from Puerto Rican Bomba, to the always exciting Merengues, to the settle Afro-Son to the fire of a Rumba-Guaguanco.
Recently, Intrin-x-ico performed at the 2004 St. Lucia Jazz Festival featuring Christian Howes on the violin, Old Town School of Folk Music Afro-Folk Series, The Jazz Factory in Louisville Ky., The Speed Art Museum Jazz Series for 2004 in Louisville Ky. and in Nov 27, Intrin-x-ico made its debut at The Kennedy Center, in Washington DC. www.myspace.com/rmintrinxico
