Local hero and internationally well-known vocalist Roger Peterson and his band Intwine will close the fundraising Cas di Glas (House of Glass) event on Sunday, November 3rd. The group, on Aruba for a sizzling concert in Zissles (formerly Mr. Jazz) on Friday, November 1st, is going to delight those who cannot make it to the concert with a short, yet memorable performance on the Cas di Glas stage. The Cas di Glas event starts on Wednesday, September 29 with the entering of the house by three local deejays. On Sunday the two men and one woman will step out of their home, hopefully having raised a lot of money for the Koningin Wilhelmina Kankerfonds, the cancer foundation. KLM Martinair is one of the main sponsors of the tickets for Intwine.
Before highlighting Intwine, the goal of the Cas di Glas happening needs a moment in the limelight. With this unique action-packed event, the organization hopes to raise enough money to buy a mobile breast cancer screening unit for Aruba. The number of breast cancer diagnoses on Aruba is very high; even higher than the already chilling average worldwide. That is why a screening unit would undoubtedly help save lives.
Back to Intwine, a Dutch rock band, which was formed in 2001 by five students of the Fontyn Rock academy in Tilburg, Holland, three of whom had Caribbean roots. Now, in 2010, the band is made up of Roger Peterson (vocals), Jacob Streefkerk (guitar), Jan Symons (guitar) and Eric Spring in ‘t Veld (drums). The group gained national attention after front man Roger’s performance in Idols, the Dutch version of Pop Idol. Peterson reached the last 10 before quitting the show voluntarily.
Intwine scored big with their songs Happy? And Cruel Man, cross-overs of rock, Latin, reggae and hip hop. Through the years, however, the band has shifted a bit from the rock-pop of debut album Intwine (2003) and second album Perfect (2004) to a harder, darker sound (Pyrrhic Victory – 2006) and Kingdom of Contradiction (2009). Heavy metal elements are incorporated in their most recent music and albums.
Beside their reggae shows, Intwine also plays The Accoustic Rumshop sessions inchiwch they play their songs in Caribbean styles such as reggae, zouk, bolero, soca and cumbia.
The Cas di Glas organization is ecstatic that Aruba’s Roger Peterson and Intwine will be performing a few of their best songs during its closing night. The full-scale, thrilling Intwine concert is on Friday at Zissles.
