Diablos rojos bring punk rock to Panama bar scene
On the town
The Diablos Rojos are alive and well and touring Panama bars and discos.
The polluting fumes are absent (no smoking in bars) but the wall of noise is there. Punk rock is on a Panama roll.
The duo Lost Cabras, out of Los Angeles/Long Beach, are on a 10 day tour, with friends Jellmunekita. They are calling the tour “Los Diablos Rojos.” A rose by any other name? It might have been appropriate to add Farewell to the title if the transport authorities can get their act together.
While, Lost Cabras and Jellmunekita were founded in SoCal, they both have Panamanian roots, as they share drummer and Panamanian native, Ricardo Carles.
Los Angeles-based drummer/vocalist Ricardo Carles and Long Beach-based guitarist/vocalist Patrick Goddard make Lost Cabras. The duo merges punk angst disharmonies and outside-the-box tune wrangling to present a wall of noise that can at one time be brutal, introspective and even "pretty.” Lost Cabras just released their first EP mixed and mastered by Evan Rodaniche of Panamanian alternative metal stalwarts Cage9.
Forming in 2005 out of California, Jellmunekita is Ricardo Carles (vocals, drums), Kevin Hebbe (bass, guitar) and Mario Lopez (guitar, bass). The band’s sound of garage rock and punk integrates Spanish and English lyrics. Jellmunekita is one of the few Spanish rock groups to open for members from well-known acts like Fatso Jetson, Kyuss, Queens Of The Stone Age, It’s Casual and Yawning Man. The band has a six-song EP out named after the famous Panamanian phrase Pueblo Chico, Infierno Grande.
