Los Lobos Touring Drummer's Debut CD Release 'Firefly'

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Cougar Records) - Cougar Records is proud to present nationally known drummer, multi- instrumentalist Cougar Estrada's debut CD "Firefly"

Drummer, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist producer Cougar Estrada is an up and coming maverick in the music world. He defies any easy pigeonhole. By turns, he picks an electric guitar to accompany a powerhouse ballad, sings heartfelt songs about modern life, plays a sweet melody ..boards, swings a hot jazz number, and then reaches deep for a soulful expression of values in a troubled world. He tops it all with a collection of remarkable tunes - all skillfully blended into a seamless flow. One fan said "Its music from the heart that hits you right between the eyes."

A mainstay on the rock circuit these past 7 years, Cougar has multiple albums to his credit; the latest "Firefly" (2007) is the artist's first solo project. He has performed in concert with such music stars as is the artist's first solo project. He has performed in concert with such music stars as Rickie Lee Jones, Robert Plant, Neil Young, Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock and Taj Majal and has been featured at the top clubs and festivals, such as the Bonaroo and Monterey Jazz Festival.

"It's hard to imagine another artist on the scene who combines the same concise, deceptively understated, lyrical and musical insight and sometimes devastating wit with such world-class instrumental prowess. It's not just a wealth of musical styles or his smooth and expressive voices that have made Estrada such a fine artist. His songs, which range from thoughtful to poetic, show that he knows his way around the music culture just as well as he knows his way around a drum set." _ "Kevin Vazquez_ Predator Arts"
