Saturday Inca Band concert relocated to Riverview Park
LOCK HAVEN, PA – It turns out Lock Haven’s final summer concert at the city’s floating stage has been relocated to Woodward Township. City Hall announced Friday that Saturday’s appearance by the Inca Band will be switched from the Corman Amphitheater along the Susquehanna to Woodward Township’s Riverview Park across the river from Lock Haven.
Heavy mid-week rains from Tropical Storm Fred put the river level too high for access to the floating stage. The concert will be held instead at Riverview Park beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Led by Edgardo Cintron, this group of excellent seasoned musicians pays honor to one of the most influential guitarists the music industry and world has ever known, Carlos Santana.
Starting 40 years ago in Woodstock and 8 Grammy’s later Carlos Santana has placed Latin rock, Latin funk and Latin jazz on the forefront of the music industry.
His Music with songs like, “Oye Como Va”, “Evil Ways”, “Black Magic Woman” , and currently “Smooth” and “Maria Maria” are capturing audiences young and old and still creating a stir in the music industry today.
Percussionist Edgardo Cintron is known as much for his affable personality and generous spirit as for his tasty musicianship. 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”.
