Pacifika 'Asunción' Wall Street Journal interview
Pacifika Asunción interview with Wall Street Journal
"Vancouver may not bring to mind Latin pop, but the city is home to Pacifika, a trio whose debut album, "Asunción" (Six Degrees), is for the most part a charming collection of gently swaying yet insistent music with its roots in the southern part of the hemisphere."
- Wall Street Journal

Pacifika 'Asunción'
Pacifika Asunción
available now
Vancouver based trio, Pacifika has received impressive press accolades for their debut album, Asunción, due out in the U.S. on April 8 on Six Degrees Records. Early press reviews have said, “the group’s new album is nothing short of transcendent-a bold fusion of jazzy beats, electronica and Latin flavor that suggests a multi-phased trip to paradise,” according to Global Rhythm. While the NY Post recently featured the band and said, “the album they created is eclectic, a little bit chill-out and melancholic but also with several ass-shaking songs. Imagine the sounds you might hear while traveling through the worlds where their music finds inspiration - Latin America, Spain, North America and the UK and you'll get what they are aiming for.” The band was also recently interviewed by Latino USA, which gives deeper insight into the band’s music, background, and inspiration.
Listen to their interview on Latino USA click here
Pacifika is the multi-talented Silvana Kane, a Peruvian born singer, and accomplished actress with a love of flamenco, electronica, and textured percussion; Adam Popowitz a Canadian bred guitarist adept at new wave, classical, and pop, and a skilled producer responsible for a catalogue that includes indie rock and Armenian folk music; and Toby Peter, a dub wise bassist born in Canada and raised in Barbados, explorer of jazz, hip-hop, Latin, metal and Caribbean grooves. Together the Vancouver based trio is making a new kind of global pop, music that nods to its diverse international influences, while forging its own unique voice.
Their intimate video “Me Caí” was featured on YouTube’s music page on the release date, and the song was chosen as the “Song of the Day” on the highly influential KCRW radio station.
Asunción has also been selected in Apple iTunes “Next Big Thing” promotion and is quickly climbing their Latin Alternative charts.
Pacifika recently performed two highly impressive Canadian shows in Montreal and Toronto and will be celebrating their record release in their hometown of Vancouver on April 24 at the Biltmore Cabaret. U.S. residents can see the band this summer; tour to be announced.
