Rincón Continentals on Fire!

Our band, the Rincón Continentals, is really coming into its own lately. We are starting to transition from just a fun side hobby into something really legit. We are booking more and more gigs, writing more songs, finishing up the editing of the recorded song, No GMO, preparing for a music video and working out the interpersonal stuff that just happens any time you are involved in any group of people.

Lots of love and support in this community!

Our most recent amazing experience with the band was the other night when we played at a fundraiser for a lovely woman, Toni Lopez, who is battling cancer. It was held at the Casa Hines mansion and there was an incredible turn-out of local Rincoeños there to raise money and support her in her journey. The whole community put a lot of positive vibrations her way!

A movie-perfect night!


We rocked it! I don’t think we’ve had that much excitement and energy ever. It was a fantastic feeling! 

Our next gig is this coming Saturday at the Beach House bar and restaurant. Not only does our band have crazy musical talent but our drummer Tiki Rob just happens to also be a professional graphic designer! See what I mean by this little cove of artistically talented people here in Rincón? Here’s our flyer.

I also put together a short promotional video of the Rincón Continentals. As we get more video footage I’ll be able to put in even more. But at least this give you a bit more of our look and feel. We have been described as sounding like the B-52s (which makes sense if I sound like Kate Pierson) and a little like Jefferson Airplane too. We say we are a groovy mix of funky psychedelic reggae rock with a surf twist that is high in energy, fun and original music and interpretation.

We recently started a Facebook page too if you’d like to check us out, here: The Rincón Continentals.

Best of the Rincón Film Fest

This weekend we went to our first film festival! It was the 7th Annual Rincón Internationa Film Festival and took place at various locations throughout Rincón for about a week. We decided to go to the Best of the Fest night because it would showcase the award winning short films and we also wanted to check out the Casa Hines Mansion which we had heard about but never actually visited before.

We loved looking at the property and landscaping as well as the architecture. It is a beautiful place beach front and we enjoyed a nice sunset before the movies began.

We enjoyed the films from each of the categories: Fright Night, Comedy, Puerto Rican Film, Action, Date Night as well as the music videos.

One of our new friends here even made one of the music videos called Johnny, that was featured and it was filmed almost entirely in Rincón and the music is by a local band called The Disfunction. We also watched two other great movies that were filmed in Puerto Rico: Chula and Mi CorazónMi Corazón was interesting as it had a sort of not-so-hidden message about the United States’ impact on Puerto Rico.

Overall, we had a great evening of film and fun even with a little rain thrown in.
