Daniel Villarreal – Panama ’77

Description

Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer Daniel Villarreal is known to many for his work in Dos Santos, Wild Belle, The Los Sundowns, Valebol Rudy de Anda, and many more. He’s one of the busiest players on the Chicago scene. If you’re in the Windy City, find him almost any night of the week at a bar, club, or venue near you, either behind the drumkit or behind the turntables, donning a beaver skin stetson hat, with his baby blue vintage Mercedes parked out front.

For his lead artist debut Panamá 77 he engages a diverse array of friends and collaborators – including Bardo Martinez (Chicano Batman), Jeff Parker (Tortoise), Marta Sofia Honer (Adrian Younge), Anna Butterss (Jenny Lewis), and Aquiles Navarro (Irreversible Entanglements) – to create a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural psychedelic instrumental folk-funk.

The album was recorded in several locations across Chicago & Los Angeles, including an outdoor session in the backyard of Chicali Outpost.
