DANIEL VILLARREAL
Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk- funk – is the debut album by Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer and DJ Daniel Villarreal.
Though it’s a debut work in the eyes of the world, Villarreal has long been a widely known and beloved character on the Chicago music scene. On almost any night of the week, you’ll find him DJing at At least one spot on bustling 18th Street in his home neighborhood of Pilsen. The decadent track “18th & Morgan” is an homage to that strip, with its lowrider meets Roy Ayers vibe, vividly depicting Villarreal’s daily life driving to a gig in his classic baby-blue Mercedes sedan, wearing a beaver-skin Stetson and tinted aviators.) If he’s not there, he’s playing drums with Dos Santos, Valebol, The Los Sundowns or Ida y Vuelta (all bands he co-leads), or sitting in with Wild Belle or Rudy De Anda.
Villarreal may be most known for his big style and magnetic personality, but to musicians on the scene, it’s as much for his talents as a malleable and reliable drummer, with a deep pocket in many styles and sounds. Through Dos Santos and Ida y Vuelta, he’s demonstrated a range of knowledge and skill in various stripes of folkloric Latin music; but, ironically, he didn’t really play traditional Latin music until he moved to the States from his hometown Panamá City. His deepest roots in drumming are from the progressive punk and hardcore scenes of Central America, where his bands NOHAYDIA and 2 Huevos 1 Camino were active in the late 90s. Those formative experiences are the foundation of his career in music.
GABI BRAVO
Gabi Bravo is a self-taught keyboardist, vocalist and lyricist. She is greatly inspired by an eclectic mix of genres, including artists Natalia Lafourcade, Javiera Mena, and Mecano, Lana Del Rey, Morrisey and more. Music is her passion and closest friend.
