Edwin Pabon
y Su Orquesta
Edwin began his solo career in 1990 when he formed his own orchestra. He assumed all of the responsibilities for the orchestra, i.e., booking, promoting, and acting as the musical director. Throughout his career he has performed with the best artists in Latin music, including: Tito Puente, Carlos Santana, Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Tito Nieves, Eddie Palmieri, Lalo Rodriguez, Mongo Santa Maria, Ismael Rivera, Giovanni Hidalgo, Tito Gomez, and Ray Barreto.
He is a passionate performer whose commitment to spreading the vivacity of Latin music and dance continues to inspire him.
Edwin is the lead singer of his band, Edwin Pabon & Orchestra, and also plays several instruments—mainly percussion instruments such as the timbales, bongos, and congas. Edwin is also preparing to release his second CD “Solo Un Tiempo” that features “salsa romantica de hoy y de ayer” (romantic salsa) with Afro-Cuban rhythms.
