Reviews:
"At the Wells Fargo stage, Vancouver, B.C., trio Pacifika's sensuous, exhilarating blend of Latin, jazz, flamenco and electronica was an unexpected delight. Peruvian-born singer Silvana Kane introduced "Chiquita" with a few words about shedding one's inhibitions like the people behind the masks at Mardi Gras... This group is surely destined for a larger stage in world music.” Gene Stout (Seattle Post Intelligencer at Bumbershoot)
"Pacifika, a Canadian band led by a Peruvian thrush that incorporates downtempo grooves, a bit of jazz and some Latin touches, is gaining some airplay with its bilingual track "Sweet." Anchored by bass and drums, Silvana Kane provides an effervescent voice as a focal point while the melodies drift around her." (Variety) click here
"As most of Pacifika's songs unfold, a seductive vocal settles above plucked chords of a nylon-string guitar, pulsing percussion and lush synthesized sounds, and thus the band bridges that clear, unhurried form of João Gilberto-influenced pop and the mellow side of electronica. But there are a few surprises that give "Asunción" its unexpected tang." JIM FUSILLI (The Wall Street Journal) click here
“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.” – New York Post
“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.” – Global Rhythm
“Peruvian Native Kane is strong and interesting on vocals to keep this debut coasting smoothly, while her backing team is diverse – including rumba, jazz, reggae, and synthesized Andean flutes – to create a refreshing and light electronic breakthrough.” – XLR8R
“…smooth-sounding mix of silky vocals, sweet guitar and classy beats on their new album Asunción… Highly stylized, world-y sounding hipster-pop, it fits in the vein of the Thievery Corporation and Bebel Gilberto.” – Toronto Star
“Pacifika’s pop roots give the group a contemporary edge, whether it’s a hypnotic dancehall groove on “Me Caí” or the droning feedback on “Mas y Mas.” And despite the Spanish lyrics, Kane’s sensuous voice makes Pacifika every bit accessible as Shakira.” – Inside Entertainment Canada
“The CD is titled Asuncion and it's full of great mood music, perfect music to chill to. Silvana Kane has this super seductive, raspy voice and the music just draws you in and makes you feel good all over. I love how textured it is. There are bits of electronica, dub reggae, Spanish and Latin in the mix and the band brings all these elements together very nicely.” – CBC Toronto
“…smooth, spirited and stylish.” – Vancouver Courier

pacifika


Pacifika. The name is at once familiar and mysterious, implying endless seascapes and tropical beaches, golden sunsets and endless summers, warm tides and mighty tsunamis. “Words are powerful,” says the band’s lead singer and chief lyricist Silvana Kane. “We wanted a word that described the music and our feelings. Pacifika sounds warm and eternal, like the ocean itself, open to limitless possibilities."

Pacifika is the multi-talented Silvana Kane, a Peruvian born singer, re-formed pop sensation (West End Girls), 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, 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. Jazz infused and Latin tinged, marked by gently flowing melodies, deep grooves, waves of cracking percussion and the occasional burst of exhilarating guitar noise, Pacifika’s comfortable, complex sound defies categories, creating soothing soundscapes held together by Kane’s smooth, intimate vocals.

All Who Have Accomplished Great Things Have Had A Great Aim,
Have Fixed Their Gaze On A Goal Which Was High,
One Which Sometimes Seemed Impossible.
All You Have To Do Is Know Where You're Going.
The Answers Will Come To You Of Their Own Accord.

Always Bear In Mind That Your Own Resolution To Succeed
Is More Important Than Any Other One Thing.
Ambition Can Creep As Well As Soar.

Hello My Loves

Stopping In For A Quick Hello
I Hope Your Weekend Was Pleasant
Pass By When You Have Time And Let
Me Know What's News With You, Savvy?
Lots Of Love And Blessings Sent Your Way

Have A Rockin & Productive Week

Hello Loves

Just passing through to see how your Labor Day Weekend went
Hope all is well. Did you all have some time off for the holiday
weekend? Also, out of pure curiosity, I was wondering; which
one of you actually responds to comments here? Do you have an
assistant that does it for you? Funny how that question just hit me.
Do you three spend much time together when you're not touring or
do you need a break? Just trying to learn more about you blokes = ]

I'm still in Milan working, so I'm going to miss this semester of school
but I'll be back in time for next semester. I really do hate falling
behind, it only delays me graduation date. I want to finish me final
year so I can graduate and leave the States and head back over
the pond to get my Masters either back home in England or in Spain.
Work is work, and we don't have a large window of opportunity to
model as we get older, so it's better to get it all in now; invest your
capital wisely and set your future up to retire early, savvy?

Anyhoo, I'm finishing a light breakfast and am going to head out to
go for me morning run with the gurls.
Talk to you soon loves, Take Care.

~Cheers!

~Beloved Sister,

The Only Thing That Stands Between A Woman And What She Wants From Life,
Is Often Merely The Will To Fight Harder And The Faith To Believe That It Is Possible.
If You Have A Positive Attitude And Constantly Strive To Give Your BEST Effort,
Eventually You Will Overcome Your Immediate Problems And Find You Are Ready
For Greater Challenges. REMEMBER, Through The FEMALE Species, ALL LIFE Begins.
There Is NOTHING We Cannot Achieve Or Overcome. From The Tiny Black Widow Spider
To The Mighty Amazonian Warriors, We Have Power And Strength Unique To None Other.
A Gift From Above. Walk Confidently Through Your Day And I Wish You A Beautiful Weekend~

~Jennia

Motivation is a fire from within.
If someone else tries to light that fire under you,
chances are it will burn very briefly

Motivation is also what gets you started.
But Habit is what keeps you going.

You cannot consistently perform
in a manner which is inconsistent
with the way you see yourself.

You have to expect things of yourself
before you can do them.

You have to have confidence in your ability,
and then be tough enough to follow through.

How will this week begin and end for you?

On your arse or on your feet!?

Remember...
The difference between the impossible and the possible
lies in one's determination.

So Let's get started, savvy?
Have a great day love. = ]

Adventure: The Pursuit Of Life.

Chance Is The Providence Of Adventurers
Fortune and Love Befriend The Bold
Who Dares Nothing, Need Hope For Nothing.
If We Do Not Find Anything Very Pleasant,
At Least We Shall Find Something New.
Plunge Boldly Into The Thick Of Venture,
And Seize It Where You Will,
It Will Always Be Interesting!

Have A Go Love! Get Out There,
And Raise Some Bloody HELL!

Enjoy Your Weekend Loves!
Hopefully Our Schedules Will Cooperate
When You Pass By My Area
I Am Dying To Meet Up With You Three
Especially Silvana Since We Both Share
Peruvian Heritage. Much To Discuss, Savvy? = ]

Thankoo, Thankoo, Thankoo
For Being Such Wonderful And Inspirational
Figures Not Just For Musicians, But People
As A Whole, -Especially The Latin Community.
We Need MORE Positive Role Models!

Bless You Guys And Thank You For
Treating Me Like A Person And Not Just
Another Fan. That Means A Lot To Me = ]

Gracias for adding me!
I caught your act at the Calgary FolkFest on the weekend - what a fabulous way to share your soulful and intoxicating sounds. Listening to you play helped me feel more alive!
I was lucky enough to be able to buy one of your cd's there - thank you for that opportunity.
I will keep my ears open for news about your band and will hopefully be able to listen to you live again - perhaps next time I'm on the left coast.
Adios.

Hola Pacifika

Stopping by your flat to see what's news with you all
I wanted to check if you all might be passing by New York
or California anytime soon. Tour dates say just Canada.
Oh well, I hope to see you all in the near future = ]

Anyhoo, I hope when this message reaches you
Everyone is doing well and in good health
Including your family memebers
Blessings & Love to all

Thanks again for your beautiful music and
the time you give to all despite your busy
schedules. It is greatly appreciated.
"Chiquita" is sooo pretty = ]

Wishing you three a great tomorrow and a relaxing
weekend to come.

Miss you guys.

Cuidate,

Todos los que han logrado grandes cosas han tenido un gran objetivo,
han fijado su mirada en un objetivo que era alto,
uno que a veces parecía imposible.


Una persona que aspira a nada, seguro que lo golpeó.

Good Morning
Just Passing Through To Show
Some Love And To Say Hello
Hope You Mates Have A Splendid Day = ]
