'Panama 500' finds him with two different groups of musicians who perform Perez's own compositions that celebrate the 500th anniversary of the historic crossing, in 1513, of the Panama isthmus by explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa. Perez finds musical interpretation and inspiration for his compositions in two groups of players - one featuring bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade, fellow musicians in Shorter's quartet, with contributions from percussionist Rogerio Boccato and cellist Sachi Patitucci.

In addition three tracks include music and narration from the Guna indigenous people of Panama.
