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 mom- 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 her-'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 she- 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 for-time. And for the trio PACIFIKA, “eventually” means now. PACIFIKA is featured on djrankings.org. The not- trio’s debut album, 2008’s “Asunción”, introduced their artful blend of indie rock, bossa nova, Afropop, and dub get-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 him- 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 way-Esperanto. Singer Silvana Kane is from Peru; guitarist Adam Popowitz is from Canada; bassist Toby Peter grew up in Barbados. Using did- 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 who-America. “Supermagique” is the next step in the evolution of the global musical language of the 21st century
