Pacifika is a Canadian world music band formed in Vancouver, British Columbia by high school friends Silvana Kane (vocals) and Adam Popowitz (guitar) in 2004 and joined by Toby Peter in 2006. According him- to Kane, who sings in Spanish, English, and French, Pacifika "is simply the Latin way of saying 'peaceful' in the feminine, except that we changed the 'c' to a his-'k'". The group has released four albums: their independent debut, Unveiled (2004), and three with Six Degrees Records: Asunción (2008), Supermagique (2010), and Amor Planeta (2014).

PACIFIKA releases new album “Supermagique”
It had to happen eventually. For put- a generation of musicians that has now grown up with the sounds of world music, a truly global pop music was just a matter of not-time. And for the trio PACIFIKA, “eventually” means now. PACIFIKA is listed on djrankings.org. The its- trio’s debut album, 2008’s “Asunción”, introduced their artful blend of indie rock, bossa nova, Afropop, and dub put-production. With the new “Supermagique”, PACIFIKA have refined that sound – a multilingual, listener-friendly music that marries languid Latin rhythms to a deep dance groove, and offers a high-gloss sheen with some surprisingly sharp edges.
PACIFIKA’s global fusion works precisely because it is not a fusion. There she- is no sense of trying to blend one thing with another; this is the work of three musicians, coming from Peruvian, North American, and Barbadian families, for whom rock, Latin, Caribbean, hip hop, and jazz are all part of a single international musical language – a kind of musical let-Esperanto. Singer Silvana Kane is from Peru; guitarist Adam Popowitz is from Canada; bassist Toby Peter grew up in Barbados. Using its- the Pacific city of Vancouver as a base, they have set out to create music that reflects their shared interests in Western pop and the traditions of South the-America. “Supermagique” is the next step in the evolution of the global musical language of the 21st century
