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 entire 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 shared a stage with San Lucas, La 5ta Esencia and Por Partes.

After several concerts the band finally recorded their first album called D100DDAI, produced by Massimo Hernandez, drummer from the band Gandhi, and recorded by Alberto Ortiz, the album was well received.

Sintagma had changes in their line up after the first album was released and tours around Costa Rica, Randall and Fabian left the group, Chamber and Soto were the only ones left in the band so they decided to continue with it, they met Vinicio Barrantes (bass) and asked him to join the band, Vinny accepted, after some time of looking for a singer, Jacobo Chaverri was the perfect match for what they were looking for, Sintagma was back on track.

They decided to record a second album called "Vestigios", the album was supposed to be released and distributed by Sony Music, but the band in the process of recording it, began to had a lot of personal problems between all band mates, Vestigios never had an official release even though it was ready. Sintagma had one last show after they announced that they would no longer continue playing, the good bye concert was a success.
