Pahua simultaneously incarnates femininity, nature and inner strength. With early roots as a Mariachi singer, this composer, percussionist, DJ and producer is a rising star of the Latin Wave. With a nuanced approach to Folktronica, this co-founder of the neocumbia experimental Sotomayor Music project delves into tribal Latin rhythms, texturing them with airy house music, while her arrangements, packed with great vibes, reveal cumbia, Afrobeat, kuduro, dembow and dancehall influences. Twisting and shaping elements of traditional Latin rhythms and sounds, Pahua is an artist that has earned the often-overused term “singular.” As she has earned critical praise, her music has drawn significant attention across music platforms, elevating her profile among music audiences and fellow artists. With songs built around subtle electronics and driven by unique beats, her voice floats amidst these finely tuned sounds, sometimes as an airy whisper and at others as a front and centre singer that invites you into her deceivingly complex aural world. Prepare to be enchanted as Pahua envelopes you with songs and unique performances.
