International Anthem recording artist Daniel Villarreal, the Panamá-born, Chicago-based drummer / DJ 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. 

'Lados B', his latest album release on the mighty International Anthem label is just out and features Jeff Parker on guitar and Anna Butterss on bass, and follows his highly acclaimed 2022 debut release 'Panamá 77 – a vibrant and verdant suite of multi-textural, jazz-laced psychedelic instrumental folk-funk.

'Lados B' is a deep dive into the high-level spontaneous music made by Villarreal, Parker, and Butterss. Villarreal is heard leading the group through various rhythmic modes and structures for improvisation – flow as informed by the Latin funk of Fania Records as it is by the otherworldly humanity trance of Brain Records – while Parker and Butterss draw on their extensive experience playing free together to build harmonic buoys for their spontaneous melodicism.

Daniel Villarreal has long been a widely known and beloved character on the Chicago music scene.
