Sintagma is a Costa Rican rock band, very known in their country for singles as Estelar, Visiones and some live shows as Costa Rica's Rock Fest from 2001.
[edit] History
Sintagma began as a project by José Soto (drums) and Ricardo Chamberlain (guitar), in July 2000. They had played before in a band called Irae, and they decided to quit that project to produce original rock music. They had to search for the other members, a bassist and a vocalist.
Fabián Mata joined the band because he had played before with Chamber in High School and Chamber knew Randall Aguilar from his former work.
The band was complete, but it wasn't until late July that they had five new songs. Their official debut was in November 2000 when they played at Bar SAND opening a Por Partes show. The presentation was successful and the public asked for an encore, so the band played their hole repertoire again.
The band realized that they could have a successful future and started to compose and write some new songs and keep playing live. The next presentation was a benefic event in December, when they share stage with San Lucas, La 5ta Esencia and Por Partes.
Right now the band is complete with bass player Vinicio Barrantes and singer Jacobo Chaverri. A four track EP was released in early 2007. Since then Sintagma presents a more aggressive and powerful sound, without stop being melodic. At this moment the band is working in a second full-length album.
