Pacifika - Supermagique

Hailing from Vancouver, the trio Pacifika expands their horizon beyond a downtempo dream-date soundtrack. The three performers tap their ethnic backgrounds -- Spanish island culture mostly -- to create an alluring blend of folk styles and electronic effects. "Supermagique" is a perfect cocktail-hour disc.

Silvana Kane's inviting vocals in Spanish and English are consistently alluring regardless of language. The album hits its stride about two-thirds through with the breezy "Doce Meses," the ballad "Perlas" and the cello-driven mood piece "The Mariner." They give Chicago's "25 Or 6 to 4" the Nouvelle Vogue treatment, convincingly reducing the classic rock hit to its barest elements.

I hope you will become a member of WYSO and claim a copy of this special albums.  For $75, we will send you this CD AND a Member Card (it really does pay for the pledge in just a couple uses).

I am so pleased to share this music.  I hope you will invest in Music Worth Hearing.

Thank you,

Niki Dakota
Music Director, WYSO-FM
