Bio
Intiche has been playing for most of his life. He grew up surrounded by musicians, picked up instruments as a child, and at twelve began pairing them with electronic sound.
Years of travel followed, across South America, Africa, Europe and Asia, and with them time spent learning from older traditions. Meditation, yoga and ceremony shaped the music as much as any studio did.
Born in Argentina and long based in Berlin, he releases on labels including Cosmovision Records and plays alternative gatherings such as Germany’s Fusion Festival. His 2014 album Nawell remains a core release.
