tromboneAbout
Kinto Zonó is an explosive 11-piece ensemble of Bomba y Plena music. The band was formed in 2017 under the direction of Nelson "Mateo" Gonzalez (who grew up in Rincón Criollo), along Jorge "Georgie" Vazquez and George "Nate" Velasquez. Kinto Zonó consists of piano, bass, two brass, and full-on percussion, which combine to bring listeners the sounds of Puerto Rico with a modern twist and a New York style of playing Plena and Bomba. Kinto Zonó has had the privilege to share stages with such luminaries as Plena Libre, Bobby Sanabria, El Gran Combo and many more.
