More On This Album

Pacha Massive (from ‘Pachamama’ meaning “Mother Earth”), is a creative 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 funky bilingual fusion of traditional Latin rhythms] like Colombian cumbia, Dominican palo, reggae, dancehall, dub and electronica.
The group released its debut album, All Good Things, on Nacional Records in February 2007, and following the tremendous response to their debut album, Pacha Massive took their sound from New York City across the country (from Boston to Portland, Oregon) and the world (from Colombia to Turkey). “Each stop has its own unique memory but going to certain places for the first time and immediately packing the venue, like in Bogota or the Ford Amphitheater in LA, were certainly memorable milestones,” Nova says. “Touring to such a foreign place like Turkey and having fans singing along and shouting out in Spanish and English definitely sticks out too.”

The universality of Pacha’s overall message and vibe is a common theme that runs from ‘All Good Things’ to ‘If You Want It.’ “It was especially humbling for me to see our music have such a positive impact on people’s lives when we were touring across the globe,” Nova explains. “It inspired me to want to write even more… seeing how the fans responded to the songs and simply realizing how irrelevant language seemed to be in the context of music.”
