Details:
Panamanian born Pepe Calavera brings together a culture of Latin-Carribean inspired rhythms with an array of sonic overtones, carried by an engine of acoustic force. Using a foundation of traditional latin guitar fair, and building layers of electronic sampling and beats, the music fluctuates from stripped down acoustic to upbeat dance styles. Every song is drenched in a lyrical clash of confessional, political, and social expression. Calavera fuses the traditional with the contemporary in a unique independent style bringing to mind a Manu Chao or Beck. Humbled and raw, the music breathes that realistic simple honesty of a traveling soul.

Pepe Calavera es un músico de origen Panameño que mezcla diferentes influencias latino-caribeñas, desde un formato totalmente acústico hasta una producción completa con el uso de sampler, mezcla de beats y sonidos de guitarras muy latinas. El estilo independiente nos trae a la memoria a otros como "Manu Chao" o "Beck". Sus letras reflejan un apego muy grande hacia sus experiencias personales y memorias de esta vida. Es un canto a la simpleza, a la verdad sin adornos, a las condiciones humanas, a la realidad de un alma honesta y nomada.
