Pacifika
was formed by Silvana Kane, a Peruvian born singer, formerly of Canadian pop hit band West End Girls; Adam Popowitz, a Canadian bred guitarist; and Toby Peter, a dub wise bassist born in Canada and raised in Barbados. 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.
«Supermagique» is their second album and was released in August 2010 on Universal Motown.
The music of the waves.
The sound of the crickets and the free wheel.
Lots of beats, baby, beats!
Maybe because of the video?
We feel like Axl Rose.
Toby plays the drums.
Depending on the journey.
Our children's voices.
Dancehall Reggae.
Always makes us feel good.
Toby listens to Gang Starr, Adam listens to Ray LaMontagne and Silvana reads.
Whatever is playing on Espace Musique (French CBC). Adam loves «Riders On The Storm», it makes him happy.
