Project Vibe Band, known for their rich roots in Reggae infused with songs with a reggae Latin flavor, are no strangers to the stage. With Colin Turner at the keyboard helm, providing his diverse musical expertise to their signature sound, they’ve captivated audiences across the board. Their latest endeavor features performances by Ed “Panama” Arguello, a multilingual maestro whose journey from spinning records from NYC to Montauk Point to sharing stages with icons like Jimmy Cliff and Toots & The Maytals has been nothing short of legendary.

Ed “Panama” Arguello’s background as a DJ and singer-songwriter rooted in reggae and Latin music brings authenticity and passion to his performances that resonate with fans worldwide. His contribution to “I Am Music” adds layers of depth and narrative that are reflective of his extensive career.

Drew Bertrand’s involvement in over 300 recordings across various music genres showcases his versatility as a drummer/multi-instrumentalist and producer. His collaboration with musicians from Grateful Dead alumni Tom Constanten to Grammy-nominated Teddy Kumpel speaks volumes about his influence on “I Am Music.”

Guitarist Matthew Hansen’s funky blues meets Latin jazz style enriches the album’s soundscape. Having studied under notable jazz educators before embracing global music styles, Hansen’s guitar work weaves through “I Am Music” with finesse and innovation.

 

 

James Pipa’s long-standing contributions to the NYC reggae scene have made him a sought-after musician for both live performances and production work. His expertise shines on “I Am Music,” where his bass lines serve as both foundation and exploration.

The synergy among these artists underlines Project Vibe Band’s vision for “I Am Music”: a blend of experiences, stories, and melodies that transcend geographical boundaries.

As Ed “Panama” Arguello aptly puts it: Rooted in reggae & Latin music but always looking beyond horizons —a sentiment that echoes through each track on “I Am Music.” This album launch party isn’t just an invitation but a call—to immerse oneself in melodies that celebrate diversity while uniting us under the universal language of music.
