Fred Rohan Vargas

A New York City born native, Fred embraced the broad cultural composition of music his city offered. So intrigued with the melodic rhythms of percussions, Fred began to develop melodies over beats he created as well as the standard ones he enjoyed playing on congas. A son of Latin American Caribbean parents, he brings to the table the diverse sounds of the islands. From the lilting sounds of calypso to the infectious tempos of salsa, Fred shares just one side of the many aspects of his music.
