Sintagma is a Costa Rican rock band, very known in their country for singles as 7, Cayendo and some live shows as Costa Rica's Rock Fest from 2001.

[edit] History

Sintagma began as a project by Soto (drums) and Chamber (guitar), in July 2000. They had played before in a band called Irae, and they decided to quit that band 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 the public asked for an encore, the band played their hole repertoire again.

The band realized that they can have a successful future as band an 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 the bands: San Lucas, La 5ta Esencia and Por Partes.
