Jesus Pagan Biography
As a singer I have had the honor to share the stage and performe with greatest stars of our music like: Ray De La Paz / Frankie Vazquez / Michael Stuart / Viti Ruiz / Herman Oliveras / Menique / Edwin Clemente / Charlie Sepulveda / Ray Gonzalez / Hector "Maximo" Rodriguez / Sammy Gali / Tony Vega / Luisito Ayala / Johnny Rivera / Milly Quezada / Cheo Feliciano / Van Lester / Los Hnos Moreno / Tito Rojas / Paoli Mejias / Jerry Medina / Luis Marin / Eguie Castrillo / Cachiro Thompsom / Orq.Costa Brava / Orq.Komboloko / Jose Gonzalez y Banda Criolla / La India /Paquito Guzman / Nino Segarra / and trust me there is more.
As a Singer/Songwriter My first solo salsa album is title "Salsa De La Mata" "From The Roots" is a total original master peace created by my self. 8 original songs all writen by me. I used the magic touch of the arrangers in this album, I selected Hector "Maximo" Rodriguez to be the musical producer and also the men in charge of 4 of the arrangaments "Ritmo Sabroso" "Tributo A La Salsa De Ayer" "Te Amo Tanto" & "No Hay Remedio".Another great friend of mine took care of 2 songs he's name Joe Velez the songs are "Aguajera" & the song that give's the title to the CD "Salsa De La Mata".From Peru another great musical master Lucho Cueto did the romantic salsa dura "Entre Lagrimas Del Cielo" and last but not least Maestro Ray Gonzalez did the work on "La Rumba Se Pone Buena". Buy it,this production promises to make you dance and to ask for more.
Other productions with Jesus Pagan as a songwriter and composer are Orq.Komboloko's "Dime Lo Que Quieres" with Ray De La Paz on the lead vocal and Jesus Pagan on coros. Jesus Pagan second production is title "Un Regalo Especial",This one produced by Jesus Pagan and Guillermo Calderon from Puerto Rico. It features a great talent of musicsions from the island of P.R. Also featuring as special guest one of Puerto Rico's best cuatro guitar player Edwin Colon Zayas. On this project arrangements was done by Guillermo Calderon and Willie Ruiz from New York. Is a special product that has more of the island flavor mix with the tuoch of New York City sound. From salsa to Plena,From a bit of bomba to a bolero son. This is production for those who ask for recording somthing for christmas so Jesus Pagan included 4 songs for them and 2 for the regular salsa lovers. This one gave us an exiting run beacuse was mention for 5 categories at the Latin Grammy's.
Jesus latest recording is with Conjunto Barrio from the New England area. Also featuring on this production is violin legend Alfredo De La Fe. The production's title "Ya Llego Conjunto Barrio", "Somos Del Barrio". This cd moves from regular salsa to salsa dura, romantic, mambo jazz, bolero and descarga. A must have in any salsa collection.
