PACHA MASSIVE IS HERE TO STAY WITH NEW RELEASE "IF YOU WANT IT"

PACHA MASSIVE ....‘If You Want It’ Brings The Group’s Signature Funky Bilingual Fusion Of Dub And Electronica With Latin Rhythms Like Cumbia And Palo’

Released on September 22nd, 2009.

Pacha Massive (from ‘Pachamama’ meaning “Mother Earth”), is a sexy collaboration between Dominican-born Nova (keys/guitar /writer/producer) and Colombian-born Maya (writer/bass). The band, from the Bronx, New York City, was Nacional Records’ first U.S.-based signing. Their music is a bilingual, loungey, mood electronica, fusion of traditional Latin rhythms like Colombian cumbia, Dominican palo, reggae, dancehall, and dub.

Pacha Massive has had success after success in their relatively short career. They came in at first place for the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) Battle of the Bands (previous winners include Kinky and Los Abandoned who have both gone on to launch successful careers). They were featured in Nacional Records soundtrack to the box-office hit “La Mujer de Mi Hermano,” with their infectious hit “Don’t let go”. Pacha Massive’s debut album, All Good Things (February 2007) became an instant hit becoming #1 on iTunes Alternativo chart. The same year they were invited to open up for Aterciopelados in New York City at the prestigious Madison Square Garden. All are feats not customarily performed by a newly formed band with their debut album.

Pacha Massive have shared the stage with artists like Ozomatli, Café Tacvba, Los Amigos Invisibles, Aterciopelados, Sidestepper, Yerba Buena, and most recently opened up for King Chango here in Washington, DC.

Now Pacha Massive is back with their second album, “If you want it”, released on September 22nd, 2009. As with the previous album they hit the ground running opening up for King Chango in their “Return of King Chango” concert here in Washington, DC on September 25, 2009 at the Black Cat. Pacha Massive is definitely not your high energy rock group, what they will provide is relaxing, sexy, mood electronica, funky, bilingual fusion that will slowly immerse itself into your subconscious.

“If you want it’s” initial singles include the title track “If You Want It” as well as “Right Now” and “Just Want To See Ya.” ‘If You Want It’ continues the uplifting spirit of Pacha Massive’s debut album. “There is still has that overall positive outlook on life from ‘All Good Things,’” says the group’s founder/songwriter/producer Ramon Nova. “While this new one isn't exactly a narrative album, it draws more directly from my actual life experiences.”
