Interoceaico is a unique blend of musicians from different countries. The group was formed in Boston, MA 2002 by a composer and guitarist, Hiroya Tsukamoto from Kyoto, Japan. They have performed many concerts throughout the Boston and New York area including several appearances at The Berklee Performance Center(Boston, MA), Ryles Jazz Club(Cambridge, MA) and 55 Bar(New York, NY). They had succesful tours to Japan(November 2004) and Korea/Japan(August 2005).
They are a musical ensemble different than most of their contemporaries. Interoceanico's music is a cornucopia of lush harmonies, lyrical melodies, driving rhythms and the first class arrangements that form their original music. Their music is an amalgamation of traditional rhythmic elements from various South American countries with Western harmonies and lyrical melodies, resulting in a unique and original souns. It is best desciribed as "Folkloric music with contemporary harmony in a jazz format".
Interoceanico's inmitable sound and inventiveness are evident throughout
the musical journey that The Other Side of the World takes listner on.

May God's Rain wash the Bird sht off of your front steps
May God's Snow cover your unkempt garden
May God's Wind blow the hair back from your face
May God's Good Earth always be firm under your feet
May God's Ways always be of interest to you even when seemingly illogical
May the Songs of God's Birds be louder than your cell&head phones
& May there always be some small something in your everyday
that brings God to you
Great & Good Success for this New Year to ALL. A'Esquecida@WOXII
