Incendio is a five piece latin guitar, world fusion group that has seven international CD releases. The most recent, the guitar trio CD "Vihuela", came out on their own Incendio Music label in summer 2009. They additionally have a live DVD, "Dia y Noche", which has received critical acclaim for its sonic quality and uncompromising focus on "just the music". It was the Who's legendary Pete Townsend who said in 2003, "bands in the future must be able to play well live – that's the only music market that there will be". Incendio has taken that to heart, touring over 170 dates a year across the United States.

But it is the music they present at these shows upon which they have built their reputation. Sweeping, romantic playing is usually the heart and soul of live Spanish guitar performance. But the diverse backgrounds of the musicians in Incendio mean that, in addition to that romantic and passionate playing of their instruments, their concerts balance rock-style enthusiasm and energy with a tremendous technical and improvisational sophistication. Thus, Incendio achieves the difficult task of appealing to both a general audience who enjoy the melodies, as well as that more difficult audience: other musicians, who have come to respect the group's vision and work ethic as much as their fretwork wizardry and occasionally complex arrangements.

The group's CD's also feature a unique compositional and performance slant. Echoes of their predecessors like Strunz and Farah, Jesse Cook, and the acoustic side of Al Di Meola are obvious. But the group has explored jazz, Celtic, middle-eastern and electronica throughout their career, putting their own stamp on their self-produced music. They subtly bring influences as diverse as Weather Report, Jimi Hendrix, XTC, Paco de Lucia, Buddha Bar and Joni Mitchell to bear on their musical tapestry. Thus, their music is a true "fusion" and sounds like little else in the genre. And thus, as they have moved through new age, through electronica, through every subheading, the band's sound and enthusiasm has continued to evolve – no two Incendio CD's sound exactly the same.

Incendio's richly textured music is rooted in myriad sources: Carbé's flamenco and classical guitar training as well as her Sicilian ancestry, Durand's Peruvian heritage, Stubblefield's European travels and musical collaborations with Kuwaiti oud maestro Waleed Hamad, not to mention Durand's penchant for rock-style dramatics and Stubblefield's lightning-fingered jazz-fusion mastery. Carbé's deceptively graceful bass and guitar playing grounds Durand and Stubblefield's dazzling twin-guitar attack, resulting in adrenalizing sonic explorations that take on greater dimension when they call longtime friends like percussionist Bryan Brock and drummer Nicole Falzone.
