Rare video "Isn't It Time" from Bobby & Paul's former band "Life After Death" - from their teen years in the 80'sLatin rhythms ... hip-shaking urban beats ...multi-cultural performers...tropical grooves ...Spanglish lyrics ... male and female voices ... surprise guest stars ... critical accolades ... a style all their own. These are some of the hallmarks of Spellbound, a long-standing L.A. indie band with a remarkable track record. On stage live they are multi-instrumentalist Paul Thomas, singer/songwriter Bobby Moon, virtuoso trombone player Mike Daigeau, with new band mates Rudy Mangual (congas & percussion), Michael Turre (saxophone)& special featured guest vocalist Candi Sosa.For those not familiar with the band, a little background. Beginning with "Spellbound" in 1996 (which contains the Latin-tinged favorite "Good Company"), the band has released a succession of nationally-distributed CDs. They include 1999's " "Funqueros" (dubbed a "jewel of magnanimous proportions" by Campus Circle Magazine), 2001's "Respete El Pasado/Respect The Past," and "Tropicalifornia (One of 2002's Editor's Top Ten Picks in Latin Beat Magazine). The band also made a timely entrance into the internet music revolution, scoring three number 1 songs on the tropical charts during MP3.com's glory days (that continues today with downloads from fans through Apple I-Tunes & other internet music services). Also throughout their recordings, Spellbound has enjoyed the participation of diverse musical guests, from legendary singer Question Mark (? & The Mysterians - remember?) to Asdru Sierra of trend-setting band Ozomatli. Live they continue to amaze and are constant crowd pleasers with gigs both in local clubs, as well as, concert venues including the Hollywood Bowl in 2002 (for the African Hearts & Latin Soul concert with headliners Eddie Palmieri & Hugh Maskela).
Spellbound's new CD release "Poolside Fiesta," is no exception to their high standard, featuring an appearance by west coast salsa king Johnny Polanco. So, catch the band live on select U.S. dates & check out Spellbound's new video "Hot Sauce" on Latin Beat TV exclusively on the BET network (check your local tv schedule for time in your area).
