Welcome to Panama Guide Bands and Music in the Republic of PanamaPanama vibrates to the sound of the music made by her people, and the assortment of sounds you will hear are as varied as the demographics. While most people listen to salsa or tipico but prefer to dance to merengue, young kids blast reggaeton from the windows of their tricked-out cars, thousands of couples ring in the New Year with live music from Samy & Sandra Sandoval and the "Accordion King" Osvaldo Ayala. Panama's jazz scene is strong and growing thanks to the efforts of the Danilo Perez Foundation. Occasionally big name bands stop by (usually for the money), and Panama has been played by Sting, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Shakira, and Ricky Martin. The homegrown (excellent) rock band Cage9 comes back every once in awhile, and emerging rock bands experiment at La Casona in Casco Viejo. In this area of the Panama-Guide.com website you will find all things related to music in the Republic of Panama.

Now Rocking My Speakers - "Sweet Home Alabama" - By The Leningrad Cowboys?By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Some of my friends from my old days in the military have relatively strange senses of humor. This morning I received a link to this article on a website called To The Point News - "Prepare yourself for this one - maybe with a Stoli martini or two. Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Red Army had an official choir composed of male soldiers and musicians. It still exists. The Red Army Choir performs throughout Russia to this day. Now consider the Finnish rock band called The Leningrad Cowboys. A little while ago, they held a concert in Russia, in which - to the screaming applause of Russkie teen-agers - they got the Red Army Choir to join them on stage for a performance of "Sweet Home Alabama." In English. You couldn't make this up. We're talking seriously off the wall here. Better have that Stoli ready when you watch it:"

Now Rocking My Speakers - Stone Temple Pilots - PlushBy DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Enjoying some good music this morning as I work on the website. The Stone Temple Pilots were big in the early 90's. I had this song - Plush - loaded on a CD player during a deployment to Saudi Arabia with the Air Force back then. I was flying on RC-135's (Rivet Joint) and we had a lot of down time - waiting for takeoff, pre- and post-mission briefings, etc. So for me this song brings back memories of zero percent humidity, temps over 120 by 9:00 am, and rides on a crew bus to catch the plane to nowhere in particular. Best when played really, really loud. And don't try to understand the lyrics unless you're smoked on heroin - as all of the grunge bands were at the time.

Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything...By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Just on the outside chance you're living under a rock somewhere and have not seen this video yet, it's worth watching. My four year old daughter simply loves this song and video, and she laughs herself silly the whole way through (the monkeys set her off...) This is Bruno Mars, and it's a good attitude adjustment for normally hectic Monday mornings.

"A Night For Peluca" - Raising Funds To Help A Friend The truth is that the event organized by the friends of Ricardo “Peluca” Isaza - called "A Night For Peluca” - was very emotional and, above all, demonstrated that he is a beloved character. Last Wednesday in Nuvo Disco in Marbella many local artists, theater actors, TV presenters, DJs, musicians and the media came together to donate their talents to raise funds for "Peluca" to help cover his medical costs for treatment. Last 29 July 2011 doctors detected a fault in his bone marrow, which does not supply enough red blood cells and platelets to his body, and he has been hospitalized in the Santo Tomas hospital. At the event supporters "souvenirs", CD's, and stickers - raising more than $8,700 dollars. Notably Joaquin Carrasquilla donated a collectible Star Wars statue that was auctioned for $700 dollars. (Mi Diario)
Editor's Comment: "Peluca" is a friend of mine, great drummer, one of the founders of "Panama Rock" - I used to get merrily hammered watching him with Juan Sin Tierra and Pitongo play classic rock songs at the "old" Pavo Real. I really hope he gets well soon. I understand he has since been transferred from Santo Tomas to the Oncological hospital. Peluca has a lot of friends, and he's really a great dude.

Ozzy Osbourne Tours Presidential Palace - Meets President MartinelliThe popular and legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne used his first visit to the country for sightseeing at the Panama Canal just before the concert that he will give today at the Figali Convention Center. At 2:00 pm yesterday the "the prince of darkness" went to the Presidency of the Republic to meet with President Ricardo Martinelli, as the public relations office ShowPro. Ozzy, dressed in black from head to toe, his cross-shaped ring on his right hand and sunglasses, got out of a white Chevrolet van with the owner of ShowPro, Alfredo 'Popa' Arias, and one of the cameramen that is part of his press team. The Briton was greeted at the entrance to the Palace of the Herons by the protocol staff and minutes later, president Martinelli welcomed him and invited him to get to know the Presidential Palace. This visit by Ozzy, who has a career spanning over 40 years, lasted less than an hour, but he took advantage of the visit to see the entire Presidency, including the equally famous herons. We can not say that president Martinelli is an Ozzy fan, but we know he took the opportunity to pose for a photo with the rock legend. Well, Mr. President, we will be watching to see if we see you at the concert tonight. (El Siglo)
