It was great fun to chat with Mr. Pauer (Toto González) at the LAMC this year. Mr. Pauer (from the Spanglish version of “power”), a Miami-based producer and re-mixer from Venezuela, is considered one of the pioneers in Latin electronica for what he calls “Electrotropical” mixes, irresistible musical concoctions that are getting a lot of buzz. In May of 2011, the tune “Cumbion del Sur” was downloaded over 50,000 times as Apple iTunes “Song of the Week”, and it has just been announced that his debut studio album “Soundtrack” that has that tune has been nominated for a Latin Grammy for Best Alternative Album.
