If you were to follow him around for a year, you could catch him in a variety of settings; flowing a cappella at spoken word shows in the local cultural centers, or at well known events like the Monterey Jazz Festival with a Latin Jazz sextet. He may be singing with an African American roots music choir, rhyming with a DJ, performing Afro Puerto Rican bomba music, or singing with a 10 piece salsa/ hip hop/ reggae fusion band at events like Reggae on the River, San Francisco's Stern Grove Concert Series or the North Beach Jazz Festival. (See below for a short list of festivals which he's headlined or been a guest artist.) In the studio or on stage, the Puerto Rican bilingual musician known as Rico Pabón is a man of many genres, and although hip hop is the music of his generation, he chooses to draw the connections between the traditional music he heard growing up at home and the music he danced to in the streets of the Bay Area, Jamaica Plains and New York. “For us, the sons and daughters of immigrants, Hip-Hop is our traditional music, but for most of us, it didn’t replace our deep love for the music of our roots. It only added more flavor to the soundtrack of our complex lives. My new album "Todo Lo Que Soy" brings those flavors together,” says Pabón.  A natural performer, Rico Pabón's vocal stamina, clarity and rhythm combined with a passionate delivery of his "true to life" lyrics make his energy on stage explosive and captivating. Backed by a group of extremely talented and highly respected musicians, his latest project is an expression of his many loves and talents and not only bridges musical genres, but has a sound that is already being enjoyed by people of all ages.
