MR. PAUER RELEASES HIS LONG-AWAITED SOPHOMORE ALBUM, “ORANGE” AVAILABLE ON SEPTEMBER 18 FOLLOWED BY A CHICAGO PERFORMANCE AS PART OF WORLD MUSIC FEST ON SEPTEMBER 20 IN HUMBOLDT PARK
“I titled the album ‘Orange’ because it connects deeply with joy, sunshine and the tropics. It is a ‘Pauerful’ color that stimulates creativity, enthusiasm, success and encouragement.”
We can’t get enough of anything created by Mr. Pauer who has delighted us with music since the release of his debut and Latin GRAMMY® nominated album “Soundtrack” which contains such gems as “Cumbion del Sur” “Que Si Que No” and “Get Me High.”
So we’re feeling great excitement and anticipation knowing there’s a new album he’s set to release on September 18th. This new album combines artist collaborations from four continents with different cultural and musical backgrounds, singing in four languages. The album was mixed by Mr. Pauer, and mastered by two-time GRAMMY® winner Felipe Tichauer (Ceu, Fela Kuti, Rod Steward, Tom Allen).
“Orange” is the spontaneous exploration of Electrópico™, a genre of music created by Mr. Pauer. Electrópico™ mixes Electronic Dance Music with musical genres originated between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn like Salsa, Zouk, Reggae, Cumbia, Dancehall, Merengue, Kuduro, Bolero, etc.
“The orange is the fruit that represents Florida, the state where Electrópico™ was born. The physical aspect of the orange represents the union of many wedges coming together to form one fruit; a symbolic representation of the ‘Pauer’ of teamwork in this album,” says Mr. Pauer, while he prepares for his promotional tour starting in early September.
With each of the 14 tracks, the album deepens its multicultural roots with collaborations from many different nationalities with the Electrópico™ seal and expands its reach to an international audience as well as the cultural melting pot of Miami.
