BLUE ÉLAN RECORDS SIGNS MAN BOY BROWNBlue Élan Records announced on Tuesday the signing of Man Boy Brown, "the new solo project from Raul Pacheco, vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and co-founding member of the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning band Ozomatli. Pacheco introduces his alter ego with the debut single, 'Moving On, out today on all streaming platforms.""The track marks a powerful new chapter for Pacheco, blending his warm, soulful baritone with lyrics that question nostalgia while embracing change: 'Are you ready to move on / From glory days and same old songs.' The song reflects his desire to explore a fresh artistic identity while continuing to perform with his longtime Ozomatli bandmates.""Under the moniker Man Boy Brown, Pacheco channels the spirit of eternal youth and creative freedom—what he calls his 'forever in his crown' outlook," a statement reads. "His forthcoming album, set for release in 2026, offers a playful yet reflective journey through the sounds that shaped him—from romantic Latin ballads and Mexican corridos to the grooves of ‘70s R&B and rock. The project brings together a global cast of collaborators, underscoring the cross-cultural storytelling that has always defined Pacheco’s music."“This is me reconnecting with my roots while also allowing myself to try new things,” says Pacheco. “I’m still part of Ozomatli, but Man Boy Brown is about giving myself space to grow and to see where that creativity leads.”"With 'Moving On,' Pacheco reaffirms his place as one of Los Angeles’ most distinctive musical voices—honoring the past while boldly stepping into the next phase of his career." The post BLUE ÉLAN RECORDS SIGNS MAN BOY BROWN first appeared on Music Connection Magazine.
