Power of Soul is a Soul/Funk band from Argentina.

In 2006, after A.N.I.M.A.L. disbanded, Titi Lapolla (then A.N.I.M.A.L.'s bassist and background vocalist) kept on composing material, which later became the material in Power of Soul.It was by chance that the songs were recorded, as Titi's friend (and producer) Sebastián Subirana listened to the songs and proposed him to record them. By the end of the year, this album was already in the market, and albeit being completely independent, it is also available in important music retail chains as Musimundo and Yenny.

Their only album to date was recorded almost exclusively by Titi Lapolla, with guitar solos on six songs by Mariano "El Conde" Vanrafelghem, who would later become the official electric guitarist of the band. Martín Carrizo (former A.N.I.M.A.L. drummer) provided sequencing on one track as well as drumming for the band on its early days, to later become the official drummer. All songs on the first album are in the English language.

From December 2006 to February 2007 Power of Soul embarked on a successful tour of Brazil, playing in cities like Rio de Janeiro and Buzios and sharing the stage with Donavon Frankenreiter.

Power of Soul consists of Titi Lapolla on acoustic guitar and singing (a departure from his traditional bass position in other bands), Mariano "El Conde" Vanrafelghem on electric guitar, Guido Duran on bass and Martín Carrizo on drums and percussion.

The band has now been composing new material (most of it in Spanish) for a possible second album.
