From the 2002 album 'Intakto'

Intakto was created in 1995 by Chilean guitarist-singer Alejandro Venegas and local violinist, Simon Claude. While tango and Latin American music filled Alejandro's childhood, Simon, a pop and jazz lover, studied classical music. Intakto (formerly known as Duo La Cumparsita) is the result of an encounter between a southern guitar and a northern violin. Chilean singer guitarist Alejandro Venegas shared his intimate knowledge of tango (music and songs, traditional and modern) with Simon Claude, Québec classical violinist, who brought to the group his experience as composer and jazz-rock musician. Through hard work and exchanges, they found their very own identity. From this sparkling cultural encounter and the benefits of various fertile tensions, emerged a group under its own influence.
