Interview by Michel Labrecque
Genres and styles : Electronic / Indie Pop / Latino

Additional Information

Pahua, whose real name is Paulina Sotomayor, comes to us from Mexico, where she is part of the movement to renew Latina music, adding electronic influences. But Pahua never loses sight of tradition, and not just in Mexico. On her latest album Natura, released at the end of 2023, she collaborates with numerous musicians from all over Latin America, from Costa Rica to Chile. She’ll be at the Ministère on July 15 at 9pm, as part of the Nuits d’Afrique festival. Her own songs are sure to get you up and dancing. Michel Labrecque spoke to her in English for PAN M 360. She explains her career path, her influences, and her relative optimism about Mexico, or at least its culture.
