Intonarumori is an album by the New YorkâÂÂbased music group Material, released in 1999.
Critical reception
The Cleveland Scene wrote: "While Intonarumori boasts a dizzying variety of artists, its themesâÂÂPan-Africanism, the need to review history through Afrocentric eyes, the stifling aspects of official white cultureâÂÂare perhaps richer than those of Imaginary Cuba [Laswell's concurrent solo album]."
