this since the 1970s when the recession was still a thing of the

Review by Latin Beat Magazine
Cintron is a powerhouse East coast band with a cast of 17
high-octane grade musicians. Cintron blends a tasty and firm Latin
percussion section (led by the group's
leader, Edgardo Cintron) with a screaming and powerful big band
brass section, toped off with the smooth bilingual vocals of Rocco
DePersia. More...

Cintron with the Soul Survivors
Cinco de Mayo Celebration with Cintron!
With a name that resembles that of a European racecar, Cintron is
slightly reminiscent of the super brass groups of the early
seventies (Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago, and
Chuck Mangione), Cintron blends a tasty and firm Latin percussion
section (led by the group's leader, Edgardo Cintron) with a
screaming and powerful big band brass
section, toped off with the smooth bilingual vocals of Rocco
DePersia.
By injecting rhythm-and-blues and other urban flavors into the mix,
Cintron creates a unique style. Projecting their wide versatility
and numerous voices, this musical
ensemble showcases a repertoire of classics and originals that
spans from Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va" and Horace Silver's "Song
For My Father," to their own
powerhouse creations, "Absolutely" and "In My Heart." Other
interesting treats include the opening track, "Rose For My Heart,"
the classic Latin-soul hit "Suavecito," and
their interpretation of the Arsenio Rodríguez classic "El Paso de
Encarnacion."
