Born on August 28th, 1958 in Fort Riley, Kansas, he attributes his musical influences to his Father, Pablo, who played guitar in the U.S. military band and also to Charlie Parker, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana and Tito Puente. By the age of five, Edgardo was studying French horn and guitar, and later, the percussion, all under his father’s direction.
Moving the Family to the East Coast in 1962, the elder Cintron formed his own band, Los Tropicales. By age twelve, Edgardo had the percussion chair. He traveled up and down the coast with the band, playing at hotels and Latin dances, working with such notable musicians as Yomo Toro and Maso Rivera.
After serving in the Army, Edgardo formed his own twelve-piece band, the Tiempo Noventa Orchestra, playing numerous festivals, and releasing three CDs. In addition to Inca, Edgardo fronts the Latin pop orchestra, “Cintron”. Their latest recoding “CINTRON LIVE MANTECA can be purchased at all major music stores.
