About

Pacifika

Pacifika’s Silvana Kane, Adam Popowitz, and Toby Peter quietly spent 2006 immersed in the studio capturing a sound. What does a band comprised of a Peruvian born singer with a love of flamenco and electronica, a dub infused bassist raised in Barbados, and a Canadian bred guitarist with roots in 80’s new wave truly sound like? The answer is a glorious ten song collection entitled Asunción to be released in early 2007.

Drawing from all their influences, the recording process was at times equally unifying and complicated. “Más y Más”, which tells the story of a butterfly flying across the ocean despite an inevitable end, went through metamorphosis four times before the song found it’s sparse one voice and one electric guitar arrangement. In contrast, the infectious “Paloma” was spontaneously written on stage during their 2005 Canadian and U.S. tour, and recorded with the same fervor when they returned home to Vancouver. For the lyrics, Silvana found using her native tongue of Spanish on nine of the LP’s tracks a clear and honest outlet. “I wanted to captivate a feeling of warmth… of toes in the sand, of moss on bark, of intimacy and truth” she says. Adam defines the production as “Latin alternative” which also features the drum & bass inspired ballad “Sweet”, the dub tinged single “Me Caí” and the anthemic, lead off track “Sol” which invokes memories of vintage Massive Attack and U2.

Throughout this diversity, there is a common voice. A seductive plea for joy. A blending of cultures and spirit. “A new world music, “ as Toby would say. Asunción is the sound of Pacifika.
