Los Pao Pao’s self-titled debut album offers up an exciting and fresh blend of American rock ’n’ roll and Latin rhythms and percussion, resulting in a sound that’s simultaneously familiar yet quite new and heady. Consisting of Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles) and Aaron Bautista (Los Fancy Free), Los Pao Paos also features the talents of members of Sonido Gallo Negro. Los Pao Paos is the perfect summer record—sunny and bright but without negating a heavier punk sensibility.
