I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Power, from Grupo Pagan and it's a solid Latin flavored rocker. Opening with title track, Power, Edgar Pagan sets the lead with an excellent Latin bass line complimented with a full compliments of percussion by Emedin Rivera on drums, Joshua Dekaney on percussion, Jimmy Branley on percussion, Bill DiCostimo on keys and featuring Edgar on vocal, Este on hand drum and chants, Aam Fisher on nicely stylized guitar and backing vocals by Rhonda Paduano and Jose Varona. Energetic opener. Another track with strong Latin rhythms is Tito with clean guitar lead by Jeff Richman and Bill DeCosimo on keys, with solid bass work by Pagan, Luis Conte and Rivera on percussion and Joe Driscoll on beatbox. Sol has a cool Brazilian feel led by Daniel Pardo on flute with Pagan on bass and vocal, excellent work by Jimmy Haslip on synth, JoseVarona on drums, and Dave Donley on percussion. Very nice. Wrapping the release is cool latin rocker, Camila Vida Mia with Pagan setting a solid bass line and lead vocals, and tasty guitar lead by Irv Lyons Jr. Haslip adds real nice texture on keys and Shane Patterson on drums hold the rhythm tight. Solid closer for a solid release.
